“What does it take to survive? Everything. It takes everything.”
Experience Shakespeare’s story of the War of the Roses through the lens of Queen Margaret, the ultimate survivor in a country coming apart at the seams. Part disco party, part riotous post-mortem on a life lived to the fullest, By The Queen puts one brilliant woman at center stage, and the light and heat given off by her stories of resistance and resilience will make you want to call the queens in your own life – your mother, your grandmother, your sister, or your daughter – and ask, “What was it like for YOU?”
Tickets are on sale March 1 for Festival Circles members. Tickets are on sale March 6 for Saint & Poets.
