This one-woman show, based on the book and television series She-Wolves: The Women who Ruled England Before Elizabeth by historian Helen Castor, depicts the lives of five of England’s most famous medieval queens (Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou, and Mary I) using speech, song, dance, and animation.
Performer Laura Careless chats to us about how the show came about, what the show is about and her relationship with the incredible women featured in the show.
She Wolves features on International Women's Day, March 8th at The Exchange Twickenham as part of the One Woman Wednesday festival.
