She-Wolves

She-Wolves tells the stories of seven royal women who refused to be tamed. In their time, these royal women were vilified as “she-wolves”, yet together they paved the way for the “golden age” of Elizabeth I. Laura uses exhilarating live theatrical techniques and multimedia to breathe new life into thrilling episodes and captivating personalities from the medieval and Tudor eras. The piece explores Britain’s historical relationships with gender and power, and seeks to reclaim “she-wolf” as a symbol of personal rewilding. This is history with contemporary bite. Adaptation of historian Helen Castor’s book and BBC series.
