In 2008, opera director Phyllida Lloyd’s pop-cornball big-screen debut, “Mamma Mia!,” more than earned its exclamation point, grossing more than $600 million worldwide.

But instead of making another movie, Lloyd went back to the stage, directing a trio of statement-making all-female Shakespeare productions.
