Lucrece an adaptation of Shakespeare's narrative poem The Rape of Lucrece
The Rape of Lucrece is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s narrative poem, combining interactive audio-visual installation with live performance. Two courageous women re-tell this story, exploring the role of the female body in live performance and reclaiming Lucrece’s story for women.
Binge Culture’s previous work has been described as “more a performance art installation than a play” (Theatreview) and this innovative work moves the collective into a gallery space for the first time. It marks a new direction for the award winning company, known for their image-based devised performances, using a classic text as a starting point.
Text by William Shakespeare Text Adaptation and Direction by Fiona McNamara Produced by Binge Culture Collective
