Lady MacBeth kill herself? Please. And Portia-you don't think someone that intelligent would be pissed to be bait and trophy? And Juliet, well, Juliet just wants to have-sex. “Soliloquies: the lady doth indeed protest” is a collection of soliloquies by Ophelia, Lady MacBeth, Regan, Portia, Desdemona, Kate, Isabella, Juliet, Marina, and Miranda-protesting the role given to them by Shakespeare.
A theatrical version of the soliloquies (interwoven so lines from one echo or comment on lines from another), titled Not Such Stuff, has been performed by Venus Theatre in Laurel, Maryland and Alumnae Theatre in Toronto, Ontario. Others interested in producing it are asked to contact chris. Not quite a feminist play, but definitely feminist theatre. Another version, titled As I the Shards Examine, set in a women's public restroom, is available at stageplays.com.
