Synopsis:
Withering Violets, a devised theater adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, looks closely at the story of Ophelia, Hamlet's rejected lover. Influenced by Shakespeare's poetical alignment of Ophelia with the natural world, our company reframes the rotten world of Denmark into a powerful corporation, whose exploitative methods have begun to eat away at both the environment and the life of Ophelia. Withering Violets seeks to reimagine Shakespeare's classic, exploring how this world of corruption, patriarchy and greed pollutes the body and mind of a young woman, our mother earth.
