The nationwide tour of Lucy Negro Redux kicks off in Nashville! After debuting in 2019 with three sold out performances, Paul Vasterling’s nationally acclaimed Lucy Negro Redux returns to the stage. Hailed by The New York Times as “wildly original” and “a full-throated, full-bodied exploration of love and desire, exultation and loss, belonging and expulsion, ownership and autonomy,” this groundbreaking work explores the mysterious love life of William Shakespeare and his illustrious muses, the “Dark Lady” and the “Fair Youth.” A cross-disciplinary tour de force, Lucy Negro Redux is based on the book and narrated live by Nashville poet Caroline Randall Williams and features an original score by GRAMMY Award-winning artist and MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient Rhiannon Giddens.
