This event will be perfomed in 2 parts on Friday 17th & Friday 24th July at 7pm. You only need to book 1 ticket to access both parts.
Are you bored of not being taken seriously in the workplace? Fed up of not being top of the pile in all your friendship groups? Is your family refusing to recognise your divine right to seize lands, subjugate the peasantry and get your portrait painted by a passing Dutch Renaissance master?
What you need is role models! All the best advice on what to do, and what not to do, to assert your queenly power, all achieved by looking at some of history's most interesting queens.
How did an almost impoverished German princess end up in charge of the biggest country in the world? How did Europe’s most desirable trophy wife end up the political mastermind ruling England? Why is Egypt’s most intriguing queen not its most famous? And why did multiple Popes learn to fear a Scandinavian queer icon?
