In my telling of Britten’s Rape of Lucretia, I focus on the voicelessness of the victim. A  Lucretia that plays that fateful night over and over in her head when she lay to sleep.  Broadway deaf actress Amelia Hensley (Deaf West Spring Awakening) embodies the memory of that night, while mezzo Allison Gish lives it. This is a timeless operatic story of the abuse of power and a woman’s sexual rights, through the lens of two male creators that found a balm of Christianity to heel her wounds. Not in this production. but with the additional narrative of artistic sign language, we “nevertheless find a  way to represent (Lucretia’s) circumstances anew.” -The New Yorker
