Ophelia Is STILL Drowning!?! The One-Person Shakespeare Rock Experience

Something is rotten in Denmark, but Ophelia has it pretty good. “The eldest daughter of a nobleman, Ophelia lived in fantasy”… or something like that. If only her dad would stop micromanaging her love life. If only Prince Hamlet would hurry up and propose. If only her brother would let her play his electric guitar…. Ophelia Is STILL Drowning!?! is a one-person play that mixes Shakespeare with smart phones and rock music, asking us to consider some of the most fundamental questions of our time—How are women still limited by the expectations of society?Is tragedy inevitable, or is a celebrity football player all we need to save us?How do patriarchal power structures undermine bodily autonomy for everyone?And, what if Ophelia knew how to swim?
