Pay What You Choose Admission

All the world’s a stage, but in Elizabethan England, all the roles are given to men. Enter Imogen, who seizes a wordless walk-on in Shakespeare’s new comedy and recasts herself in a ferocious real-life leading role. Imogen Says Nothing is the wildly theatrical and subversively funny tale of an unforgettable creature refusing to let history erase her part.

Director Interview: Beverly Poole

"I always want to know about the women who have been erased from history. There is an absurd element to this play that just delights me, and creates a lot of room for having fun. But more than that, there is an anger expressed in Imogen Says Nothing that feels incredibly powerful right now. A lot of us are angry right now, and we have every right to be when we look at the world around us."

—Beverly Poole, director
