Recounted from a lively market stall, the play explores themes of motherhood and what it means to be the outsider. A warm and considered interpretation of this timeless classic.
Devised, written and performed by Mjka Scott, According to Angelica offers a unique version of events, as told by Nurse Angelica who, despite having a prominent role and tangible warmth with Juliet in Shakespeare’s version, remains elusive and silenced by the end of the play.
Scott fills in some of the subtle gaps left by the text and deals with some unanswered questions about the one individual who was, arguably, the closest person to young Juliet.
According to Angelica looks playfully and tenderly into the role of “nurturing” and goes beyond the purely biological fact of mother-daughter relations.
