SHAKESPEARE'S SLAVE
Resonance Ensemble
presents
SHAKESPEARE'S SLAVE
In 1596 Shakespeare had a creative crisis. Broke and bedeviled by self-doubt, he was unable to write the “Henry IV” play commissioned by the Lord Chamberlain. The question of whether “to be or not to be” hung by a thread — until Shakespeare met one of London’s first African slaves — who changed his life.
