Lives Lost: Woman who performanced Shakespeare on the street
Read full article: Lives Lost: Woman who performanced Shakespeare on the streetHer performance of Shakespeare was her holding onto her substance, that last vestige of a healthy self, DiGennaro said. A Georgia native, she attended Bennington College in Vermont, where a classmate remembers a vivacious woman who loved soul music and the theater. She was truly gifted, said Laura Spector, a friend from Bennington who would later reconnect with her in New Haven. It was about this time Holloway embraced Shakespeare, possibly inspired by her days at Yale. They would leave and go across the street, said Nick Yorgakaros, who owns a pizzeria on the street where Holloway would often perform.
