What is currently on at Birmingham Repertory Theatre (V143)

Elizabeth Rex

T1002732060
England, 1601 and Elizabeth I is torn between the obligations of a ruler and her passions as a woman. She has sentenced her lover, the Earl of Essex, to death for treason, and she alone can pardon him. In the dark hours before the headsman's axe falls, she seeks distraction in the company of William Shakespeare and his troupe of players. As the Virgin Queen explores the dilemma between heart and mind, she finds insight from a surprising source. With everything from bawdy laughter to tragedy, Elizabeth Rex won the 2000 Governor General's Literary Award from Drama and went on to enjoy huge success in both Canada and the USA.
