Description Shakespeare's The Rape of Lucrece is a politically-charged, sexually provocative and violent thriller. Internationally acclaimed performer Camille O'Sullivan brings this rarely performed tragedy to life through story-telling and song.

With original music played live by Feargal Murray on piano, O'Sullivan inhabits the souls of both Tarquin and Lucrece. While narrating their fates, she delivers an astonishing range of human experience contained in this dark tale that is as beautiful as it is monstrous.
