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.
