Special ASC Near-Speare New Works Event Dead Girls No Mothers by Tommy Sullivan-Lovett Directed by Anna Holland Two Nights Wednesday November 18 at 7:30pm Sunday November 22 at 7:30pm On the Porpentine Stage Four of Shakespeare’s heroines - Cordelia, Desdemona, Lavinia, and Ophelia - speak from beyond death to reclaim the voices they were denied in life. Confronting the violence, silencing, and objectification imposed on them by patriarchal systems, they expose how their suffering was used to serve men’s stories rather than their own. Through their reflections, the play challenges the idea of Shakespeare’s women as passive victims and insists on their agency, anger, and humanity beyond the roles that destroyed them. Returning from ASC's March 2026 Thy Name Is Woman feminist New Play Festival, Dead Girls No Mothers is a full-length, one-act production that highlights the experience of four of Shakespeare's famous tragic heroines. Part monologue cycle, part group revelation, this play will challenge, heal, and invite audiences to engage with a new perspective of the stories they love. Community Talkback with the cast and director following each performance. Recommended for audiences 16+ There will be a variety of charcuterie and small desserts provided as part of the ticket price. The Porpentine Bar will be open. This performance will be set in the intimate Porpentine space, just off our lobby. Please enter the building at 497 Peachtree Street, just to the right of our 499 doors. Link in bio for info & tickets
