-

New York playwright Melina Green fights to have her voice heard in a man's world - forced to hide behind a lie to get her work on stage.

Centuries before, her ancestor Emilia Bassano, mistress to one of Elizabeth I's nobles, faced the same silence. Her bold act of rebellion changed everything - but at a great cost.

Two women, separated by time, united by defiance. Together, they challenge a world built to keep them quiet.
