Description
Queen Margaret retells the Wars of the Roses through the eyes of the iconic queen. A captivating exploration of British history, this play premiered at the Royal Exchange in Manchester in September 2018. Using Shakespeare's original lines alongside new text, Jeanie O'Hare brings to life a pivotal moment in history. The nobles of Henry VI's court are torn apart by power struggles and factional infighting, but Queen Margaret remains determined to hold on to her place at the crown. With a focus on the queen's wit, policy, and unyielding ambition, this play offers a fresh perspective on an enduring chapter in British history.
