Emilia, Shakespeare's Globe, review - polemic disguised as a play by Laura De Lisle

Great performances save this uneven tribute to a forgotten Elizabethan poet It feels like Michelle Terry's first summer season at the Globe has been building up to Emilia for a while now. The theme is Shakespeare and race, so Othello was something of a given. It's joined by The Winter's Tale, as if the Emilias of these two plays have been waiting for their chance to step into the spotlight.
