We're a few weeks into our run and it's be so interesting and fun to share this show with audiences. People have been sharing wonderful, moving feedback, and Jean Schiffman from the Examiner gave us a lovely review:
After two months of rehearsals and show development, ROMAN WOMEN opens tonight and we are so excited to share this piece with audiences! We were recently featured in the San Francisco Chronicle (see article here) and as Theatre Critic Lily Janiak's weekend pick on Facebook! With its latest, the site-specific company [We Players] heads to the Palace of Fine Arts, but emphatically not to the venue’s theater. They’re staging “Roman Women” at the outdoor rotunda. For more information about the show, location, and tickets, check out the We Players website, www.WePlayers.org
I'm very excited to be performing with We Players' production, Roman Women this May. It's been a unique and wonderful experience developing the piece and working with such inspiring artists.
About the show: "This ritual performance features a unique soundscape - including live instrumentation, classical text derived from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and physical theatre and dance generated by the all-female ensemble. Our very own ruin from an imagined San Francisco of antiquity, The Palace of Fine Arts - with its famous weeping maidens, sweeping pergolas and unique avian life - will serve as inspiration. Turning up the volume on women’s stories, we reach a hand back through time to empower those with lesser-known histories. Through Roman Women we explore the public and private lives of the women in Julius Caesar, in the late Roman Republic, and in the 21st century - imagining and recreating secret rites and hidden mysteries."
