Who is The Lady?
In ancient Britain, a Lady is living in a
stone-walled house on an island in the middle of a river. So far
as the people know, she has always been there. They sense her
power, they hear her singing, but they never meet her.
At first her life is idyllic. She wakes, she
watches, she wanders in her garden, she weaves a complex web of
what she sees, and she sleeps again. But as she grows, this
pattern becomes narrow and frustrating. She longs to meet those
who cherish her, but she cannot. The scenes beyond the walls of
her home are different every time she wakes, and everyone she
encounters is lost, swallowed up by the past.
But when she finds the courage to break the
cycle, there is no going back. Can she bear the cost of finding
freedom? And what will her people do, when they finally come face
to face with a lady of legend who is not at all what they have
imagined?
A retelling – and metamorphosis – of Tennyson’s
Lady of Shalott.
