SHE WOLF comes to the Dunedin Fringe

Shakespeare wasn’t a god, he was just a man. His biases and prejudices are our biases and prejudices.

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+

“You don’t need to have a thorough knowledge of Shakespeare to enjoy this show, either. Everything you need to know is set out clearly by the She Wolf herself.” Gutter Culter
“Excellent reimagining of what we think we know.” Theatre Review
