Winner of the Noel Coward Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy at the 2020 Olivier Awards

In 1611, Emilia Bassano wrote a volume of radical, feminist, and subversive poetry. It was one of the first published collections of poetry written by a woman in England. The little we know of Emilia Bassano is restricted to the possibility that she may have been the β€˜Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s Sonnets – and the rest of HerStory has been erased by History.

Morgan Lloyd Malcolm has taken what we know of Bassano, and her poetry, to create this lively, witty play, Emilia.
