The Whore Queen
The Courtyard Theatre, London.
You wanna get to know the "Real Anne Boleyn" right? Now's your chance!
But she may not be what you are expecting...
Anne is dragged through her memories by what history has deemed interesting. She's fighting for her whole story to be heard before time reduces her down to a single word in a limerick - 'beheaded'.
She's been forced to relive these same events for nearly 500 years - and she is pissed!
This eclectic one person play written and performed by Ellie Grace explores the boundaries of objectivity and historiography through the life of one of history's most iconic Queens.
