Drama Dogs Opens QUEEN UNDAUNTED: MARGARET OF ANJOU at Center Stage Tonight, 9/6
By: BWW News Desk Sep. 06, 2012
Drama Dogs presents QUEEN UNDAUNTED: MARGARET OF ANJOU, a one woman show that gives us Margaret according to Shakespeare. She is the only person to appear in four of Shakespeare's plays. Modest and girlish at the beginning, she becomes ruthless, vengeful and fierce. She loves, she hates, and she acts with intensity in a world where women were meant to be compliant and submissive-and quiet. Complex and ambiguous, her voice resonates down the ages.
"When the show debuted last year, Noozhawk reviewer raved, "E. Bonnie Lewis shone in speaking the words as Queen Margaret in all the facets of her complex character - from wide-eyed teenager being married off to Henry VI of England, to high-powered ruler of England, to mother suffering personal tragedy, to penniless exile. The elegant language, often imbued with her slightly more modern tone and expression, felt accessible and yet still authentic More than the words, what brought Margaret to life was Lewis' movement. A dancer as well as actor…a small gesture of her hand or turn of her mouth could bring deep humanity and vulnerability to this ambitious and volatile character." –Justine Sutton, Noozhawk
