Oh Mama, Mama what am I to do? I like Shakespeare but I like to shimmy too!

It’s ‘Shakespeare with Shake Appeal’ for two nights, Saturday, October 8th in Baltimore and then Sunday, October 9, 2016, in DC as Twisted Knickers and The Round World present The Bard and the Beautiful and The Bard and the Beautiful Two:  Elizabethean Boogaloo. Some of Baltimore and DC’s finest ecdysiasts, circus and sideshow performers will perform acts inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, The Tempest, and more!

From a tapdancing en pointe Ophelia to an acrobatic Titania and Bottom to a sexy female Prospero and straight jacket escaping Lady Mac our troupe proves there are still new takes on Shakespeare in a town that’s seen it all.

Lucrezia Blozia
Lucrezia Blozia has been part of the local alternative performance scene since the early ‘90s (she started when she was 6). She was the leading, ahem, lady at notorious pervpunk theatre company Cherry Red where she honed her skills in plays like “Cannibal Cheerleaders on Crack” and “Poona the F*ckdog and Other Plays for Children”. She was part of girl group Eva Brontosaurus in both New York and LA where the trio opened for Margaret Cho’s monthly burlesque show, The Sensuous Woman. She’s proud to have originated roles in all five years of Hope Operas and played everything from a flipper derby girl to a were-squirrel to a Pam Greer-type cop/barista. She’s a regular collaborator with Landless and Borealis Theatre Companies and Astro Pop Entertainment. She loves you and is surprisingly easy to work with for someone so simultaneously humble and exquisitely beautiful (oh and talented). You should hire her.
