In honor of International Women’s Month
Four sisters from medieval Provence who, incredibly, all become queens: of France, England, Germany and Sicily. The new musical Four Queens brings their fascinating yet little-known story to dramatic life.
Join us for a reading of this musical-in-progress, where six actors transport you back to 13th century Europe, teeming with holy wars, civil wars, and personal betrayals. These sisters also find themselves at war – sometimes as allies, sometimes as enemies – as they confront their greatest challenge: will their family love, and their beloved Provence, survive?
