THEATRE REVIEW: EMILIA (Globe Theatre)
Oct. 12th, 2018 03:38 pmI've stacked up rather a backlog of outstanding reviews, stretching back even to before we went on holiday in early September. Things are about to reach crisis-point, because we are 2/3 of the way through three theatre and livestream visits this week; with a further three next week; which is almost a Michael-Billington level of play-watching.
Emilia is the reason I never got on with all the other reviews. I loved it, and wanted to do it justice, but because I had so much to say, I kept putting it off and thus created a log-jam. Then - of course - I forgot everything I wanted to say under the weight of all the other stuff I was seeing. So - I'll here reconstruct using semi-bullet-points.

So - here's an example of the kind of 'heresy' Emilia wrote. (For the record, her poetry and the preface To the vertuous reader made it past the Censor, and was published):
.... euell disposed men, who forgetting they were borne of women, nourished of women, ..... doe like Vipers deface the wombs therein they were bred .... Such as these, were they that dishonoured Christ his Apostles and Prophets ...
