“O'Sullivan is a superb performer and great singer...the star is her singing voice: a deep sultry instrument that might have been created to express desolate love'”

Guardian

Shakespeare's The Rape of Lucrece is a beautiful, violent narrative poem, provocative and agonizingly tragic.

In these Swan Theatre performances, Elizabeth Freestone directs Camille O'Sullivan in a hypnotic evening of song and storytelling with original music composed by Feargal Murray and Camille O'Sullivan. Camille will become Tarquin and Lucrece, narrating the fates of both. From political chronicle to sexual thriller, Camille will reveal the poem as the beautiful monster it is.
