Tina Packer knows Shakespeare. She’s directed every major Shakespeare play and is the founder and artistic director of Shakespeare & Company, which she has built into one of the largest and most critically acclaimed Shakespeare Festivals in North America. Her latest project is a staggering, five-part, on-stage examination of every single female character in Shakespeare’s cannon. If it sounds like a daunting task, it is. But it’s widely believed that if there is one woman in the world who could pull it off, it’s Tina Packer. She joins us to discuss Women of Will, running this month at Central Square Theater.
