Circomedia is delighted to welcome Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and Emilia to our stage in February. It’s 1611 and, at the age of 42, Emilia Bassano becomes the first woman to have her poetry published in England. For centuries, history has overlooked this achievement in favour of her male contemporaries. Until 400+ years later, that is- time to listen up folks, her story is gonna make history!
Morgan Lloyd Malcom’s triple Olivier Award-winning comedy storms into Bristol in February. A concoction of historical inspiration and imagination, this period romp charts our heroine’s journey from young courtier to a radical writer, well-versed in pushing the boundaries of a stiff society. With direction from the highly acclaimed Sally Cookson (A Monster Calls, The Old Vic; Peter Pan, National Theatre), this galvanising and riotous production vividly transforms Emilia’s life from page to stage, whilst giving voice to generations of silenced and exploited communities.
Written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm
Directed by Sally Cookson
