La Sœur de Shakespeare stood out for the originality of its premise, which fully aligns with a social and feminist commitment. Borrowing the figure of Judith—William’s imaginary sister—from Virginia Woolf and finally giving her a body on stage is the true brilliance of this show. The text embraces a form of candor, and the project retains its freshness, rhythm, and charm from start to finish—three qualities that cannot be manufactured and are missing from many more self-assured productions. The two remarkably versatile actresses bring the project vividly to life. As playwrights as much as performers, they refine a style of writing on stage that is as original as their acting. The jury celebrates a company at the beginning of its journey—a promise that is already standing tall.
