Shakespeare‘s tragic poem  The Rape of Lucrece, a tale of lust, rape and politics, is both beautiful and violent. From political chronicle to sexual thriller, the poem’s exquisite tragedy is fully revealed in a hypnotic evening of song and storytelling.

In this compelling and provocative performance by the internationally acclaimed singer Camille O’Sullivan, with original music played live by Feargal Murray, Camille inhabits the souls of both Tarquin and Lucrece, narrating the fate of each.

The original production of The Rape of Lucrece was produced by the RSC and premiered at The Edinburgh International Festival. Camille won a prestigious Herald Angel award for her performance. This is the first time the music has been performed as an intimate concert.
