About the PLay
"The Robbed That Smiles fuses Shakespearean text with that of feminist theorists and scholars to create a series of performance pieces that analyze and interrogate the ways in which the "classical" theatre canon has contributed to the absence and forced silence of women in written and performative history. This production has been crafted as part of The Women of Will Project, an independent project dedicated to producing works of all-female Shakespeare with the support of Blue Water Theatre Company."
