Shakespeare's Other Women by Scott Kaiser is an anthology of thirty-six original monologues that breathe new life into overlooked female Shakespearean characters. Kaiser has expertly applied our present-day perspective on women and the world to the classic characters. The costumes not only nod to classic Elizabethan theatrical styles, but complement every type of beauty, offering audiences a glimpse into the depths of each character's journey.
