Katerina became “Kate the Curst.” Pained and ignored, why not shout to the sky? If only God hears or a flock of passing birds listened, maybe she wouldn’t be invisible, maybe someone would care and take a moment to listen, really listen.
This female-centric adaptation of William Shakespeare’s controversial play, examines relationships and the balance between power and love.
For information regarding the concept, read “Define the Relationship” and “Kate’s Silence”.
