Shakespeare the environmentalist. Shakespeare the racist. Shakespeare the Prophet. Who knew Shakespeare foresaw our world? Annie utilises the Bard's words in new ways while dissecting current events and embodying Hamlet's pondering of what makes life worth living these days. She has an answer, and it’s bound to lift your spirits despite the divisive material. From reciting To Be or Not To Be at age 10, to nearly accidentally starting a cult at Burningman, Annie guides us through a new perspective on the relevance of Shakespeare's timeless works, connecting humanity's past with our political present. Titania lambasts us for our destruction of the environment, Shylock shames us for our othering of refugees and Constance offers up her grief to those whose children were victims of gun violence.
