In the room beneath a stage's trapdoor, Shakespeare's dead teenage girls - Juliet, Ophelia, Cordelia, and others - compare their experiences and retell the stories of their lives in their own terms. 'Enter the Body' gives voice to a cast of the young women who die in Shakespeare's plays. Focusing on the stories of Juliet, Ophelia, and Cordelia, Joy McCullough weaves retellings of 'Romeo & Juliet', 'Hamlet', and 'King Lear' into a larger story about how young women can support each other and reclaim their stories in the aftermath of trauma.
