Book Synopsis

Winner of the Noel Coward Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy at the 2020 Olivier Awards

In 1611 Emilia Bassano wrote a volume of radical, feminist and subversive poetry. It was one of the first published collections of poetry written by a woman in England. The little we know of Emilia Bassano is restricted to the possibility that she may have been the Dark Lady' of Shakespeare's Sonnets and the rest of HerStory has been erased by History.

Morgan has taken what we know of Bassano, and her poetry, to create this lively, witty play.
