SALEM—“What’s in a name?”
For Oregon Shakespeare Festival actor Robin Goodrin Nordli, it’s the scores of roles she has played as Shakespeare’s women during her 25 seasons at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland.
Nordli brings those women to life in her solo show, Virgins to Villains: My Journey with Shakespeare’s Women, Nov. 26 for one night only on the Pentacle Theatre stage.
Nordli has been acting for 25 seasons at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. She’s performed more than 70 roles in 55 different productions of 28 plays by William Shakespeare. She knows the Bard’s women inside-out.
“Virgins to Villains is my personal journey with the female side of Shakespeare’s canon and how it’s resonated in my life,” said Nordli.
Moving seamlessly between Shakespeare’s words and her own story as an actor, Nordli entertains, enlightens and delights the audience from comedy to tragedy and more in between.
Pentacle’s exclusive event is a special treat for theater lovers and Shakespeare fans throughout the mid-Willamette Valley. Watch a short trailer about Nordli’s show.
