Shakespeare’s *itches

“Shakespeare’s *itches is an omnisexual folk cabaret!”  ~Dan Gover, Shakespearean

Susanna Rich’s comedic and musical talents bring Shakespeare’s women to vivid life in Shakespeare’s *itches: The Musical.  Rollicking, moving, bawdy and philosophical, Shakespeare’s *itches: The Musical gives voice to often victimized characters. Highlights included the poignant “Desdemonia’s Song” and the inventive “Cordelia Appears on the Mountebank Williams Show.”

“…sporting an audience-hooking backpack guitar whose look hinted at a Renaissance prototype mandolin, Susanna gave voice to a dozen of The Bard’s women (plus an occasional 20th-century counterpart), not only providing them original songs in believable and compelling language, but modernizing their stories so we could undersand their plights more fully and probably more memorably than any literary analysis of the original works would lead us to do.”
