Shakespeare in Detroit will present the Michigan premiere of Talene Monahon's JANE ANGER. 

​

 Talene Monahon's JANE ANGER or The Lamentable Comedie of JANE ANGER, that Cunning Woman, and also of Willy Shakespeare and his Peasant Companion, Francis, Yes and Also of Anne Hathaway (also a Woman) Who Tried Very Hard. Inspired by the little-known feminist author of Protection for Women first published in 1589, the story is a bold new anachronistic Jacobean feminist revenge comedy.

 

It’s 1606 and William Shakespeare is stuck in quarantine with his unpaid apprentice, Francis. It would be a GREAT time to write King Lear… if he weren’t plagued with writer’s block. Through the window, JANE ANGER, the Cunning Woman, climbs, with a large sack and a mind to change history forever.
