elizabeth….
almost by chance a woman
Written By: Dario Fo
Directed By: Rachel O’Riordan
Production Premiere: September 2004
Elizabeth, an hilarious and impious jab at the English Monarchy set in the Court of the first Queen of England, chronicles how the virgin queen overcame the treacherous uprising against her.
Fo’s monarch is more interested in who she is going to sleep with next than ruling the country, certain than Shakespeare is plotting against her.
A little performed satire on power and paranoia.
