'The Queens Heads’

& 'Affirmations of the Maimed Debauchee’

Two newly commissioned pieces of writing to be presented from October-November 2012.

To be presented upon the same contrasting bill of play.

‘The Queens Heads’
Brings together Anne Boleyn & Katherine Howard, two of England's most tragic Queens. Both were Queens and cousins, both were pronounced the love of their monarch’s life and both were beheaded by their lord and master on charges of adultery…
It sees them spar in a contest of moral superiority and justifications as they relay their time spent amidst the most dangerous court in Europe.
Tudor history brought to life in vivid intimacy.

‘Affirmations of the Maimed Debauchee’
Gives the audience a glimpse into the world the infamous courtier, poet, and libertine extreme John Wilmot 2nd Earl of Rochester; the wine, the whores, the actresses, the willing young men… the syphilis!
A fast paced romp through the back alleys and palaces of Charles II’s England;
Not recommend for those of a sensitive disposition!
