Ophelia is Dyeing is inspired by ‘Ophelia’, Lisa Klein's retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet from the young woman’s perspective. In this version, Ophelia stages her suicide. She manages to escape the danger she is faced with at the Danish court with a broken heart and pregnant with Hamlet’s child. Disguised by her late father’s clothes, the young woman claims agency over her life and begins an adventure of her own.
