SHE WOLF

Comedy • Theatre

Tasmania • SA Premiere

Queen Margaret was the original Cersei Lannister. She was a woman so cruel & cold, she would scare Lady Macbeth. Only, that's not true. Turns out the way we view women in positions of power hasn't changed much in the last 500 years. If all history remembers of you are the lies, does the truth even matter? Yes, this is a comedy.
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.
