Women of Will, the performance

A tour de force in-studio performance! Join Master Shakespearean actor, Tina Packer as she deconstructs and conjures Shakespeare’s most famous female character and multi-award-winning actor Nigel Gore who plays Romeo to Packer’s Juliet and Petruchio to her Kate. Together they bring listeners on a riveting journey as they explore love, loss and power through Shakespeare's heroines, combining the most beloved Shakespeare scenes with riveting, highly accessible analysis.

Through this unique, inspiring audio performance, listeners will discover the mastery of Tina Packer (founder of the world-renowned Shakespeare & Company) hailed “marvelous!” by The New York Times and “irresistible” by the Associated Press. And the steady brilliance of Nigel Gore (Shakespearean actor and audiobook narrator of The Time Machine by H G Wells.)

Funny, fierce, and irresistible for Shakespeare lovers, scholars, artists, and anyone who thinks the lady doth protest too much.

“The play explores Shakespeare’s own enlightenment,” says Packer. “As he delves into the female psyche, and realizes if we don’t deeply listen to what the women say, we are never going to solve the problems of the world!”
