Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender at Southwest Shakespeare Company

From Hamlet to Iago, internationally renowned actor Lisa Wolpe has stepped into many of the Bards iconic male characters shoes throughout her decades long career. It was in those shoes that she found the power to overcome the unique challenges she faced, as she learned the truth about her heroic Jewish father, who infiltrated Nazi intelligence, and other family secrets that revealed themselves over time. Humorous, cathartic and deeply human, Shakespeare and the Alchemy of Gender demonstrates the remarkable healing power of Shakespeares writing and the remarkable talents of Ms. Wolpe.
