What happens to Shakespeare’s heroes and villains after the curtain falls? Join Lady Macbeth, Portia, Hamlet, and King Hal as they reflect on their lives. Lexi Wolfe blends Shakespeare’s words, historical research, and her own dramatic spark to embody four distinct characters and explore their onward journeys.
What becomes of Shakespeare’s most unforgettable characters after the curtain falls? In this bold and emotionally charged one-woman show, award-winning performer Lexi Wolfe breathes new life into four iconic figures — Lady Macbeth, Portia, Hamlet, and King Hal — each stepping out from the shadows of the Bard to share their untold truths. Drawing on Shakespeare’s language, historical fact, and her own razor-sharp writing, Wolfe conjures a world beyond the plays — a confessional space where past glories, regrets, and secrets rise to the surface. From a guilt-ridden Lady Macbeth reliving her buried grief, to Hamlet reckoning with the consequences of his infamous indecision, After Shakespeare is a haunting, witty, and fiercely human meditation on legacy, identity, and what remains when the curtain falls.
