The Rape of Lucrece is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s narrative poem, combining audio-visual installation with live performance. Two courageous women re-tell this story in an installation that explores the role of the female body in live performance and reclaims Lucrece’s story for women.

Binge Culture’s previous work has been described as “more a performance art installation than a play” (Theatreview) and this innovative work moves the collective into a gallery space for the first time. It marks a new direction for the award-winning company, known for their image-based devised performances, using a classic text as a starting point.

Text by William Shakespeare;
Text adaptation, concept and direction by Fiona McNamara;
Film by Fern Karun;
Performed by Ally Garrett (Minge) and Isobel McKinnon (Wake Less);
Music by Gareth Hobbs (This Rugged Beauty);
Costume by Josephine Hall (Minge);
Produced by Binge Culture Collective.
