Live, Learn and Lunch: Shakespeare’s Queens: A One-Woman Play with Poornima Kirby

Shakespeare’s Queens

12:00 Light Lunch will be served
12:30 Presentation

Shakespeare grew up under the reign of Elizabeth I, a mercurial, intelligent, powerful queen. And her influence is written across many of Shakespeare’s finest female characters.
 

Created and performed by Shakespearean actress Poornima Kirby, this jewel of a play dances between Elizabeth’s story, and Shakespeare’s own life as a writer and father to two strong- minded daughters. With history, humor and sparkling poetry, Shakespeare’s Queens is a heartfelt and refreshing exploration of some of the bard’s loveliest verses.
