Four hundred years ago, Emilia Bassano wanted her voice to be heard. It wasn't. Could she have been the 'Dark Lady' of Shakespeare’s sonnets? What of her own poetry? Why was her story erased from history? (Wikipedia)

Emilia is a play inspired by the life of the 17th century poet and feminist.

1609

I AM EMILIA.

Writer. Wife. Lover. Mother. Muse.

I am unheard.

I want education, equality, opportunity, respect. For us all.

We want choice.

We want a voice.

2019

WE ARE EMILIA.

400 years ago, Emilia Bassano wanted her voice to be heard. It wasn’t. Her story is still our story. Emilia and her sisters reach out to us across the centuries with passion, fury, laughter and song. Listen to them. Let them inspire and unite us. Times are finally changing. Not fast enough. It’s up to you. We are all Emilia.

Stand up alongside her and be counted.
