William Shakespeare's The Rape of
Lucrece
A special performance for national Poetry Day
Wednesday 13th October at 7.30pm
Olivier award nominee and RSC actor
Gerard Logan vividly brings to life Shakespeare’s brilliant and
brutal narrative poem with a powerful one man performance in the
intimate Studio Theatre at The Point.
The Rape of Lucrece, dedicated by
Shakespeare to his patron the 3rd Earl
of Southampton, gives an account of
the legendary Roman figure Lucretia,
and how the terrible crime of rape and
its dreadful consequences are thought to have brought about the
establishment of the Roman Republic.
But Shakespeare goes beyond the
obvious, following the ramifications of the crime wherever they
take him, shining a light on a band of behaviour encompassing the
bestial and the beautiful.
