Imogen Says Nothing

A revisionist comedy in verse and prose featuring Imogen, a character who only appears in the first folio of William Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing', speaks no lines, and is probably a typo. A play about the voices absent from our canon and the consequences of cutting them.

    Absolutely enthralling, positively brilliant, and purely, ridiculously, good. Sure to be exciting, eventful, and profound onstage!

    I love this play. It is fresh, delightful, provocative. It caught my interest in the list of characters: IMOGEN--A Bear passing as a human. It surprised me that this is not the Imogen from Cymbeline but a character who is probably a typo in Much Ado. Requires some imaginative and theatrical staging--should be great fun. I want to direct this play!!

    Here is a stunner so witty and deep one would think Shakespeare had a sister among us. And a sister she is, in word and deed, for here a play so true to the fairer sex, all unfairness is made visible. That some are tethered and baited, and some are made to feel entitled and as if free, and neither sex the better for it. A play to see!
