“My reason tells me now that ‘tis as common
To err in frailty as to be a woman.” (IV.iii)
Annabella and Giovanni, a pair of siblings that are well-respected in Parma, are hopelessly in love and forced to fight for each other as society forbids their union.
‘Tis Pity She’s a W***e in the Loeb Ex seeks to explore gender, language, and the body: how the three are mapped onto each other to create vi
olence and to blur the lines between public and private, harming female-bodied and femme-expressing individuals’ autonomy and safety. For this reason, we are casting actors who identify as women, transgender by any definition, genderq***r, non-binary, non-conforming, and any person with a gender identity or expression that has been associated with femininity at any stage in their life. Actors wishing to audition are encouraged to contact Eliza (they/them/theirs) and/or Madi (she/her/hers) with any questions they may have about this or any other aspect of the project. This project will also feature a socially-engaged public art project, open to all members of the Harvard community, regardless of identity. 'Like' our page to get updates on the project and how to get involved. Please be advised that this production will include violence, mysogynistic language, physical/emotional abuse, suggestion of s*xual assault, and in**st.
