Imogen Says Nothing

Playwright: Aditi Brennan Kapil

Rights: Concord Theatricals

Synopsis: A revisionist comedy in verse and prose featuring Imogen, a character who only appears in the first folio of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, speaks no lines, and is probably a typo. A feminist hijacking of Shakespeare that investigates the voices that have been absented from our canon, and the consequences of cutting them.
