Michael takes a look at The She-Wolves from Neo-Political Cowgirls:
When the Duke of York refers to Queen Margaret of Anjou as the She-Wolf of France in William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part III, it isn't exactly a compliment.
"How ill-beseeming is it in thy sex, " he notes, "to triumph, like an Amazonian trull, upon their woes whom fortune captivates."
So perhaps there's a bit of taking back the word intended when playwright/director/co-choreographer Kate Mueth titles her "modern day fairy tale salvaging Shakespeare's women" The She-Wolves. |
