莎士比亞的妹妹們的劇團 (Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group) 成立於一九九五年夏天，團名源於英國女作家維吉尼亞‧吳爾芙(Virginia Woolf)在《自己的房間》(A Room of One’s Own)一書中所虛擬的角色，意在解除女性才華被男性體制壓抑的魔咒。劇團以原創劇本及前衛劇場美學為發展目標，創作題材、形式、議題不限。劇團每年持續受邀於不同國家、城市，展演新作，在國際城市文化或藝術交流上扮演重要角色。近年曾赴香港、澳門、北京、上海、釜山、東京、柏林、新加坡、神戶及巴黎、紐約等地演出。

二○一○年，是莎妹劇團成立的十五週年。多年來，莎妹的成員（導演、演員和設計群）已有良好合作默契，許多合作過的成員也在劇場各自的領域發展與成長，劇團始終群策摸索獨創的劇場美學與風格，因此，在這一年中，我們將用一系列的創作來歡渡。四月，演而優則導的劇場資深表演者徐堰鈴將推出以法國作家莒哈絲小說《勞兒之劫》為靈感的作品《沙灘上的腳印》；六月，法國導演法蘭克‧迪麥可 (Franck DIMECH)將為劇團兩位演員阮文萍、周蓉詩量身打造新作《jumel攣生姊妹》；八月，曾獲台新藝術獎評審團特別獎的劇場頑童導演王嘉明再應台北藝術節之邀，推出曾於○五年首演，造成一票難求盛況的《麥可傑克森》；十月，去年以《給普拉斯》入選台新藝術獎年度表演藝術的新生代導演BABOO將再度和徐堰鈴合作，搬演德國劇作家海納‧穆勒的劇本《四重奏》。

Founded in the summer of 1995, Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group owes its name to the fictional character in Virginia Woolf’s novel A Room of One’s Own, meaning to liberate women’s talents from the oppression of patriarchy. Limiting itself to no specific issues or conventional aesthetics, SWSG takes materials from all arts inspiring to create original theatrical works. Having been to Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing, Shanghai, Busan, Tokyo, Berlin, Singapore, Kobe, Paris, and New York, SWSG has been invited by various cities and countries to perform, and takes an important role in international city culture and artistic exchange for many years.

2010, is the year of the 15th anniversary of SWSG’s foundation. Over the years, the members of the group, including directors, actors and crews, have developed healthy cooperation, and each one of them has flourished in different fields. The group has taken its unique and creative path in persuasion of theatrical aesthetics and style, therefore, this year, SWSG will have a series of performances to celebrate its 15th anniversary. In April, the highly celebrated performer Hsu Yen-Ling will release her most recent creation The Tracks On the Beach which is inspired by the novel Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein written by the French writer, Marguerite Duras. In June, the French director, Franck Dimech, will compose specifically for two actresses, Juan Wen-Ping and Chou Jung-Shih, a performance named Jumel. In August, the Taishin Arts Awards Special Jury’s Award winner Wang Jia-Ming will reenact the immensely popular Michael Jackson which debuted in 2005. In October, Baboo, the last year Taishin Arts Awards nominator, will once again cooperate with Hsu Yen-Ling to perform Quartett by the famous German theater director, Heiner Muller.
