CCM Play: Emilia
By Morgan Lloyd Malcolm
Bridget Leak, director
What became of Emilia Bassano, poet and contemporary of William Shakespeare? Was she his “Dark Lady” of the sonnets? What does it mean to be reduced to a footnote in a man’s story? In this bold reimagining, Emilia reaches across time to speak for women — mothers, lovers, thinkers, muses — who dare to be seen and heard on their own terms. Hilarious and heart-breaking, Emilia features an all-female cast portraying multiple Elizabethan characters.
Content advisory: This production contains adult themes, strong language, racism, misogyny, sexual harassment, child loss, suicide and domestic violence.
Estimated run time: 2 hours
*ASL interpreting available during Friday, Feb. 14 performance. ASL viewing seating is available upon request by calling the Box Office at 513-556-4183 or emailing Box Office Manager Matthew Wilson.
