FIRST 100 YEARS:
The Professional
Female Playwright

 

The Queen's Company: all female! all the time! no apologies!

Colorful. Bold. Sexy. Violent. Funny. Explosive. Riveting.

Not words usually used to describe a classical play. But at the Queen's Company that is exactly what you get. When you come to our productions you see: strong women, great acting, fast-paced action and a superb story well told. We are an adrenaline shot kicking the classics back to life. In our classical productions we use all-female casting. By returning to Shakespeare's tradition of trans-gender casting, The Queen's Company productions expand the performing opportunities for female actors, challenge gender assumptions and give new life and meaning to theatrical works. We are also committed to developing work by contemporary playwrights who refer back to the classical canon in the same way renaissance artists reached beyond the medieval age to classical Greek and Roman texts for inspiration. Poetic language, strong story and a grand theatricality, along with strong female characters, are all prominent features of our contemporary work.We believe the magic of theatre lies in passionate storytelling that is emotionally compelling and physically dynamic. Our unique productions appeal to the entire spectrum of the theater-going audience, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. First and foremost, The Queen's Company offers a theatrical experience that is a window into the human experience, appealing for any audience seeking the mystery only revealed on the living stage.
