SEASON 24 | MARCH 2012

Elizabeth: Heart of a King

A new play by Lorella Loftus
Presented by the VORTEX

 

Elizabeth I was one of the most luminous, fascinating, and formidable women in history.  A woman of contradictions, Elizabeth was brave and vulnerable, intelligent and ambivalent, flirtatious and icy, and fundamentally, very human. 

This workshop production explores the formative times in her life as a young woman and the main events of her life as a queen and as an icon. Three different women play Elizabeth at different stages of her life-- a lone woman struggling to retain her political and personal power in a male-dominated world. Henry VIII, Thomas Seymour, Robert Dudley, and William Cecil are just some of the men who had a major influence on her life who appear in the play.
