Description | Daughter of a theatre legend and a prima ballerina, award-winning actress Mark Wilson dissects her own story and her next job: being directed by her father as Lady Macbeth. Grand performances, whispered confessions, and booming self-mockery combine as she prepares, promotes and performs the role of her life.
Mark Wilson is an International Fellow of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, London and it shows. Unsex Me is somewhere between stand up comedian Bill Hicks, the In-Yer-Face British playwrights of the 1990s and the Royal Shakespeare Company. It’s post-dramatic, drag theatre steeped in controversial, dark comedy. |
