Mrs shakespeare comes to nenagh
William Shakespeare, reincarnated as a woman, finds herself in a mental asylum and comes to the conclusion that she has made a complete mess of writing 'Hamlet' 400 years earlier. That’s the premise of Irene Kelleher’s one person show, on the way to Nenagh Arts Centre this Saturday April 18th.
Armed with a quill and beset by a rebellious cast of characters (who are anxious not to be rewritten), she embarks on an epic reformulation of theatre's most famous text under the new title of 'Ophelia'. Unfortunately, William's therapist is unsympathetic. Is that because he is also a reincarnated Christopher Marlowe, consumed with an envy that has been festering away since 1597?
Written & Directed by Ian Wild, the plays stars Irene Kelleher and starts at 8pm. Running time is one hour and ticket prices are €12/€10 concession. Tickets are available on the door or online at www.nenagharts.com
