Last Life: A Shakespeare Play

By Clare Langley-Hawthorne

Book Overview

"Last Life" is a striking assemblage of Shakespeare's words, exploring the struggle between masculine and feminine energies, gender dynamics, and relationships. As Kismet holds Man and Woman captive in a circle of salt, primal and kinetic energy is created - simultaneously attracting, repelling, colliding, and surrendering. Can these opposing forces ever discover the balance of masculine vulnerability and embracing feminine strength? "Last Life" explores the basic primal need in each of us for communication, understanding, and acceptance, uniting us beyond borders, genders, nationalities, and linguistics. It speaks to the human essence and lays bare the truth. We crave intimacy, and yet we hide at every turn. Forced to face their scars, betrayals, and vulnerabilities through a matrix of Shakespeare's wit and words, they are both victims and predators, facing generations of trauma to find transcendence.
