Student Discount for The Dark Lady at Lunchbox Theatre

The Dark Lady is a witty and sensual duet that reclaims the story of a fascinating woman who was almost lost to history—Emilia Bassano. Through her eyes, this thrilling love story helps us both understand and challenge our love of Shakespeare. Emilia was multiracial and multilingual, and the first Englishwoman to publish her own poetry. And she may also be the answer to a 400-year-old mystery—just who was the “Dark Lady” that Shakespeare spoke of with such passion in his sonnets?

Jessica B. Hill, the playwright, has been one of the Stratford Festival’s new generation of leading ladies for 7 seasons. In The Dark Lady, she has woven in countless Shakespearean references and even some of his text while also creating characters that feel completely relatable and contemporary for today’s audiences. 

The Dark Lady is co-produced by the Shakespeare Company and directed by Bronwyn Steinberg.

We are pleased to offer a student rate of $25. Tickets are available on our website: https://www.lunchboxtheatre.com/the-dark-lady
