So when Emilia ended and I jumped straight to my feet to applaud the incredible final monologue, I knew that this was an incredible show. Transferring from the Globe, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s play about the seventeenth-century poet Emilia Bassano Lanier has already been widely heralded as ‘rousing’– and it certainly is that. It rouses the audience right to their feet. They whoop and cheer the barnstorming feminist speeches, and literally boo the bad oppressive men.Emilia, with its all-female cast and creative team, is an interesting twist on the all-male companies of William Shakespeare.

It is an emotional rollercoaster with Clare Perkin’s final speech worth the 2hours and 30-minute running time. Both my friend and I were in tears and other audience members seemed supportive that these words were being said. If you loved Nell Gwynn, you will love Emilia. There are three teachers of children: adults, other children, and their physical environment.” - Loris Malaguzzi Following the run at the Globe, the production was announced to transfer into the West End at the Vaudeville Theatre from 8 March 2019.
