Harriet Walter & Friends
Renowned for her portrayals in Succession, Killing Eve and Ted Lasso, Dame Harriet Walter is also one of Britain's most esteemed Shakespearean actors. She re-imagines what Shakespeare's women might have been secretly thinking, and lets them speak their minds.
Live on stage with special guests, Harriet will perform pieces from her new book, She Speaks!
With new speeches for thirty Shakespearean women, written in verse, sonnets and prose, her book goes between the lines of the plays as Gertrude lets Hamlet have the unvarnished truth; Lady MacBeth reveals how she would have been a savvy King; Kate, the Shrew does an about turn; Ophelia surprises us; Olivia surprises herself and the witches have a good old rap.
Enjoy Shakespeare’s women as they demand centre stage and take the opportunity to ask the legendary Dame Harriet and her friends your own questions.
In Nottingham, Harriet will be joined by guest actor Jade Anouka and host Phyllida Lloyd. The Edinburgh show will be hosted by Lennie Goodings, with guest actor Karen Dunbar. In London, guest actors Jade Anouka and Jackie Clune will join Harriet on stage alongside host Lennie Goodings.
