Wollstonecraft Live!
Synopsis:
a staged film shoot centers on a love story between the 18th century radical, Mary Wollstonecraft, and a 21st century actor cast as William Godwin who was Mary's lover for the last 5 years of her life. eight characters: three Mary's, (the actor Cast as) Godwin, a Boom Operator, the Sound Mixer, the assistant Director, and the Casting Director interact with each other as they attempt to represent the story of Mary's life in a bio-pic. as they all rehearse a critical tracking shot for the film power shifts from the absent Director to the three Mary's who have primarily functioned as production assistants. On set, the actor Cast as Godwin rehearses his lines, comprised of fragments from Memoirs of the author of a Vindication of the Rights of Woman, William Godwin's real biography of Mary written after she died giving birth to their daughter, Mary Shelley. the relationships in Mary's life, all tragically cut short by circumstance are exposed through real letters and contemporary dialogue, creating a fragmented narration of the time in which she lived, loved and died.
