Margaret of Anjou

Margaret of Anjou – undisputed star of a ‘new’ play by Shakespeare, passionate, power-hungry Lancastrian she-wolf.

@DrPeteKirwan just want to remind you the whole thing is in part inspired by Shx's version of wars of the roses and I think the name Lannister is the biggest giveaway but I'm not sure about Cersei's real consistency in terms of she-wolfing ...

Fond memories of that Violent Women season ...

[Theatre of the Gentle Furies @GentleFuries]

@DrPeteKirwan Henry VI part 2

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

sad about absence of Amazonian trulls in this book ... but like the idea of Isabella in MFM as a wannabe Hildegard of Bingen, a woman who NEVER let a man stop her doing what she wanted to do

@EarlyModernista merci!

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

Non, rien de rien, non, je ne regrette rien .... it's the bloody hanky that does it - Shx had a thing about handkerchieves ....

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

@publicradionerd @BBAShakespeare This is great news - many congrats

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

I'm suggesting lots of lovely tubs full of red roses to top it all off

[Randall Martin @randall_rmartin]

Tewkesbury 1471 also to become a paved paradise. Clearly the #Yorkists are still losing to the #Lancastrians. But @MegAnjou must be pleased?

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

This casts a new light on the famous stage direction in 'Winter's Tale'

Medieval excuses for not doing the reading: manuscript was eaten... by a bear.

(Peter the Venerable to the abbot of Grande Chartreuse; quoted here from Gillian R. Knight, The Correspondence between Peter the Venerable and Bernard of Clairvaux)

LEICESTER!!!! you are winding me up ... was it near THE car park? did it 'fall through' and lo and behold there was a cacodemon in the ground????

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

I like this - give @nicoleoftheisle a knighthood immediately

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

My favourite Margaret play has Eleanor and Elizabeth as meaty roles and Margaret as a MEGA role - @Orlandocreature showed that the wooing of Elizabeth can balance Suffolk's wooing of Margaret, with two women moving from comedy to tragedy ...

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

Something I would quite happily do all day long ...

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

You read my mind - I was exactly thinking Polyphemus except I don't want to end up iedntifying with sneaky Odysseus

[Margaret of Anjou @MegAnjou]

yes yes yes
