Women’s roles are very prominent in Shakespeare’s works. Although they are relegated to the background due to contingencies that are certainly more social than dramaturgical, the English author nevertheless shows us how they have a decisive influence on the decisions of men, who assume themselves to be the centre of decision-making and power. After all, what does the feminine spirit represent and what is its relevance in Shakespeare’s work, and how is it defined in an assumedly male context that prevented women themselves from performing on stage? Is it just a counterpart that allows us to justify the actions of men or, on the other hand, is their praise taken on by the bard as a kind of “escape from censorship” and the political and social contingencies of his time? In addition to Emília Silvestre, who gives body and voice to Shakespeare’s women, and Sofia Fernandes, who sings some of the sonnets, Mulheres de Shakespeare features dramaturgy by Fátima Vieira and Matilde Real, great connoisseurs of Shakespearean works and themes.
