The Vixens En Garde: Rapier Wit! December 17, 2010

It is 1607, and women aren't allowed to perform on the English stage. Seven swordswomen gather to illegally swashbuckle their way through Shakespeare's greatest tragedies - to hilarious end. These babes are armed to the teeth with swords, daggers, quarterstaves, whips and, of course, Rapier Wit! Throw in some singing, some wrestling, some gender-bending, and some audience participation and you have the makings of a good time. Join all-female fight troupe The Vixens En Garde in a fast-paced fantastical tribute to the Bard of Avon. Rated R for Violence, Sexuality and Shakespearean Swearing. The Vixens En Garde are an all-female fight company that is uniquely modeled after a commedia dell'arte troupe, in that each of the seven members plays the same character from production to production. All of the Vixens have trained extensively in multiple weapons disciplines.
