Olivier award nominee and RSC actor Gerard Logan brings his astonishing solo performance of Shakespeare's brilliant, brutal narrative poem, giving an account of the terrible crime of rape and its dreadful consequences, to the Gordon Craig Theatre.

But Shakespeare goes beyond the obvious, tracing the crime wherever it takes him, shining a light on a band of behaviour encompassing the bestial and the beautiful.

A single actor, a bare stage – rapist and victim springing to searing life.
