Stockyards Theatre Project explores “What Makes A Woman Powerful?” through the ferocious re-imagining of a Shakespeare classic. This original adaptation places women in the central roles and finds women, just like men, are brutal, compassionate, jealous, good-willed, over-zealous, and insecure. Loyalty...Betrayal...Vengeance…Passion... What’s a lady to do?
