UNBECOMING
a cabaret of Shakespearean proportions.
Becoming Carlotta-B is confusing AF!
For the Ultimate Feminist Shakespearean Contemporary Leading Lady, coming to New York City in 2022 from Elizabethan England in 1593 has been both a blessing and a curse.
On the one hand – women are boss ladies!
They’re allowed to read and write and needlework is so five hundred years ago. On the other hand – Carli-B can’t find any decent hemlock and the Supreme Court has just made life medieval for people with vaginas.
Join Carlotta-B in a protest for freedom that is full of frivolity. Shakespearean Cabaret is a merry band of mischievous artists – cooking up a poetic salve for today’s woes.
Written and Performed by Carla Kissane, Directed by Miriam Grill, with musical arrangements by Andrew Patterson & Ben Kiley, our creative team will serve you up a cocktail of musical mashups that is designed to let freedom ring!
Hey nonny nonny, Bitches!

Mission Statement
Carlotta believes in the power of words to be wielded as a weapon to speak truth to power. She is devoted to the development of new works which highlight the satirical nature of Shakespearean text. By interrogating the language and the structures and systems of thought that pervade our belief systems and cultural landscapes today, 'The Ultimate Feminist Shakespearean Contemporary Leading Lady' shows us how to hold up the mirror to nature in the most frank, poetic and lyrical of ways.
