Description
In this episode, we go behind the scenes with Notes to the Forgotten She-Wolves (https://www.shakespearesglobe.com/whats-on/forgotten-she-wolves/) , a special series of events (https://www.shakespearesglobe.com/seasons/voices-in-the-dark/) honouring women and non-binary people from history who have been forgotten, misremembered or erased.
We chat to Producer Matilda James and Literary Manager Jessica Lusk about commissioning the twenty writers who have dedicated notes to these women. And we chat to three of the writers – Janet Le Lacheur, Amanda Wilkin and Philippa Gregory – about the women they’ve chosen and what it means to give them their voices back.
We’ll also be asking: why are these stories still so resonant today, what does it mean to create a new collective of voices, and how does resurrecting the past help us to see our futures clearly?
