Queen Margaret by William Shakespeare
Using Shakespeares orginal lines, alongside new text, Jeanie OHare retells The Wars of the Roses through the eyes of the extraordinary Margaret of Anjou.'Queen Margaret doesn't just shed new light on Margaret herself, but carves a whole new path through Shakespeare's Histories and England's civil war.. with the nation at war over Brexit, this story of a Frenchwoman fighting for England's heart has found its moment'
* WhatsOnStage *'Jeannie O'Hare has built a very credible parallel to the Shakespeare canon... this is a dramatic construction with all the depth of a Shakespeare history play, the best of its richness of language, the intelligence to weave that respectfully with modern perspectives, the inventiveness to use new technologies to excite new responses'
* The Reviews Hub *'Feels genuinely like a lost Shakespearian epic… the dialogue remixes Shakespeare's text and matches the rhythms and language of his writing so convincingly that you'd be hard pressed to spot where O'Hare's words end and his begin… what a terrific central role this play provides'
* The Stage *Jeanie O’Hare is Director of New Work Development at The Public Theatre in New York. She was Chair of Playwriting at the Yale School of Drama from 2012-16, and Company Dramaturg for the Royal Shakespeare Company for seven years.
