Gillian English Brings SHE WOLF to Adelaide Fringe
Performances run Feb 19 – Mar 6, 2021.
By: Stephi Wild Jan. 13, 2021
A show about Shakespeare's propaganda concerning Queen Margaret of Anjou from 500 years ago to shine a light on where we are in the 21st century.
Daughter, princess, wife, queen, mother, warmonger, widow and crone... monster? Queen Margaret of Anjou - the original Cersei Lannister; model for Claire Underwood; a woman so cutthroat and cold she would make Lady Macbeth sh*t her pants. Only none of that is true and the way we view women in positions of power hasn't changed much.
Margaret was a French Princess and an English Queen. Demonized in her time and mythologized through history, she has become more legend than lady. But who was Queen Margaret; where was the divide between personal and personal and political? 'She Wolf' is a comedic exploration of the infamous Queen as presented by Shakespeare in 4 monologues that laid the foundation for a mythical monster. Age recommendation 16+.
