Boy My Greatness
Written & Directed by Zoe Senese-Grossberg
What happened to the boys who played Shakespeare's women? At the Globe Theater in the summer of 1606, six boy players warm up, run lines, gossip, and fall in and out of love all in between rehearsals for the premieres of Antony and Cleopatra and Twelfth Night. As the plague and rising religious conservatism threaten their way of life, they are all forced to reconsider their futures on the stage. A play about growing up, gender, and a chapter of theater history we seek to forget.
Boy My Greatness premiered at the Hudson Guild Theatre, NYC – March 8-16 2024
The show went on tour in Sep ‘24, performing in Nyack, West Shokan, Easthampton, and NYC.
