Two Plays by Jessica B. Hill

Now available for purchase!

 

THE DARK LADY

What if all of Shakespeare’s female characters were based on the love of his life? What if she happened to be a writer herself? The Dark Lady collides a young William Shakespeare with Emilia Bassano, a mixed race aspiring poetess. The two wrestle with artistic collaboration, ambition and legacy - an entanglement that will profoundly shape both their lives and their work.

PANDORA

Yes…her. The mythological character that has been carrying the burden of all human suffering since the beginning of time. She’s…sorry. And still curious. In her search for the why of it all, she begins connecting the dots between myth, quantum mechanics, life’s uncertainty, and ultimately the nature of theatre itself.
