The Lady Doth Protest is a dark comedy that offers a sharp, witty, and unflinching examination of power, agency, and the labels placed on women who refuse to remain silent. The production subverts classic theatrical archetypes to confront modern truths, elevated by an original, continuous live accordion score that acts as its own dynamic character. Written by Mark Blankenship and directed by Evan Zes, the ensemble features Nealy Glenn, Melle Powers, and Liam Craig, with acclaimed composer and accordionist Will Holshouser performing onstage. Following a sold-out New York run, the production makes its international debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
