\nIn 1581\, Emilia Bassano&mdash\;like most young women of her day&mdash\;is allowed no voice of her own. But as the Lord Chamber lain&rsquo\;s mistress\, she has access to all theaters in England and fin ds a way to secretly bring her work to the stage. And yet\, creating some of the world&rsquo\;s greatest dramatic masterpieces comes at great cost: by paying a man for the use of his name\, she will write her own out of hi story.
\nIn the present\, playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano.
