Beggar. Lover. Courtier. Mother. Politician. Soldier. Margaret of Anjou is the tenacious She Wolf of France who became one of England’s most controversial queens. The only character to appear in four of Shakespeare’s plays, Margaret’s story was subordinated to her husband, Henry VI, and her implacable enemies, the Duke of York and his sons Edward IV and Richard III…until now. Playwright and dramaturg Jeanie O’Hare puts Margaret center stage in a retelling of Shakespeare’s vicious tales of a royal family torn apart by power.
