A stunning reconstruction of some of Shakespeare's most disturbing scenes, Elisa lays bare what most would prefer to sweep under the rug. Ripe material for educational theatre and professional companies alike. Will be thinking about this one for a long time!

Mackenzie Elisa has a way of bringing Shakespeare into the present in a way that few other people I've had the pleasure of speaking with are able. I mention that I know her personally because I think my knowing who she is allows me to recommend this script more strongly. A scholar and an actress, she has brought something together here that is compelling both as a performance as well as a literary exploration. This is a play worthy of conversation.
