Description “...cause Cupid is Venus' son and arrows fucking hurt...”

Venus and Adonis, a brand-new work written and directed by Damien Ryan, tells the story of Will Shakespeare’s rival - a poet hidden in history - hers is an extraordinary story.

The Bard told that story in secret, borrowed her life, her love, and even her words. Her name is Aemilia Lanyer. It’s time for her to speak for herself!

Unlock one of the greatest mysteries of Shakespearean literature.
