Ophelia

Ophelia is the aftershow afterlife of a Shakespearian character.


A woman wakes in a bathtub. She doesn’t understand where she is, but remembers that she drowned herself. She sees her reflection in a mirror; what happened to the pale, fragile girl from Hamlet? She hears music coming from a distance - could it be her lover? Is that her father? Her brother? Following music and water, Ophelia looks for a way out and a new way of being, on and off stage.

Ophelia was presented at IMPFEST festival, curated by Beautifully Confused Collective at Hornsey Town Hall Arts Centre in November 2016
