Description |
In this sparkling new response to Shakespeare's most popular poem, Venus is a woman with a past who is having trouble with her future. Directed by Bell Shakespeare's Associate Director, Marion Potts, Venus & Adonis premiered at the CUB Malthouse in 2008. Melissa Madden Gray and Susan Prior portray a Hydra-headed Venus who is ardent, wilful, wanton, terrifying but also wondering where the hell she's heading. Desire is only half of the story. |
