SCREW YOUR COURAGE!(or The Bloody Crown!)
Klahr Thorsen: performer, writer
Autumn Mirassou: director
50 min
SCREW YOUR COURAGE! portrays one actress' relentless ambition to play the role of Lady Macbeth. Witches curse an actress to play the role of Lady Macbeth over and over again until she gets it "just right." As Thorsen traces her journey from her troubled childhood in Chicago to an acting Fellowship at the Globe Theatre in London, will we see her conquer madness, Serbians, and enchanted bagpipers long enough to triumph as Shakespeare's most misunderstood heroine?
