“Sensational!” Sir Trevor Nunn

The British Shakespeare Company are proud to be the new producing partner for Gareth Armstrong’s critically-acclaimed production of Shakespeare's brilliant narrative poem The Rape of Lucrece, starring Gerard Logan in a tour-de-force solo-performance.

The British Shakespeare Company have formed this producing partnership with Thievish Dog, Logan's own theatre company, to help bring this astonishing piece of theatre to a wider audience.

This stage adaptation is directed by Gareth Armstrong who has created many successful solo shows including his own award-winning “Shylock”, and is performed by Gerard Logan who has played leading roles with the National Theatre and the RSC (Olivier Award Nomination).

The Rape of Lucrece was a sell-out success both in Edinburgh and during its London runs at the prestigious King’s Head Theatre, Sir Peter Hall’s Rose Theatre, Kingston and the Rose, Bankside.
