Gillian English's SHE WOLF to Play The Butterfly Club
by BWW News Desk - September 11, 2017
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? How did she become the first she wolf of France? 'She Wolf' is a dramatic exploration of the infamous Queen as presented by Shakespeare in 4 monologues that laid the foundation for a mythical monster - parallels we still see today in fictional characters like Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones or Claire Underwood, where the female character is portrayed much less sympathetically than her male counterpart.

by Brodie Turner - September 08, 2017
Some argue it is the epic play of our generation, an iconoclast of politics, existentialism and the last health crisis to impact the modern world indiscriminate of race, class or religion. Tony Kushner's opus Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes premiered in 1991 and opened on Broadway in 1993. It became a cult classic: turned into a miniseries and several highly successful remounts, the latest of which is being raved about as you read this; the National Theatre in London's production starring Hollywood hero and homo-controversy-courting treasure Andrew Garfield.
