The Last Reading of Charlotte Cushman — Carolyn Gage

Captivating evening with one of the greatest actresses of the nineteenth century. Charlotte Cushman, a large butch woman, made a name for herself in “breeches parts,” and treats the audience to excerpts from her Hamlet, Romeo, and Cardinal Wolsey -- as well as scenes and other monologues from her repertoire. National award for “best play about a lesbian historical figure.”
