in the hypnotic hands of Camille O’Sullivan, Shakespeare’s politically-charged, sexually provocative and violent thriller is brought to life through storytelling and song with original music played live by Feargal Murray on piano. This rarely performed poem narrates the Roman tale of Lucrece, the chaste wife of Collatinus, who is defiled by Prince Tarquin. O’Sullivan inhabits the souls of both Tarquin and Lucrece. While narrating their fates, she delivers an astonishing range of human experience contained in this dark tale that is as beautiful as it is monstrous. O’Sullivan secured the prestigious Bank of Scotland Herald Angel Award for Best Performance.

“A triumph, strange, gripping and honest” – The Times (UK) ****

“O’ Sullivan is a superb performer and great singer…the star is in her singing voice” – The Guardian
