The Rape of Lucretia opens Thursday, February 21 and runs through Sunday, February 24 at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
In Benjamin Britten’s 1946 chamber opera set in ancient Rome, a woman is a pawn in a power struggle between men and pays the ultimate price. Department of Theatre Head Kirsten Pullen and Lyric Theatre Co-Director Julie Gunn lead a female production team to explore how sexual violence resonates across the centuries.
