La reina lloba

A character who gets dirty, who fights, who loves, who scratches, who wins and who loses

Pau Carrió dedicates his new creation to Margaret of Anjou: the She-Wolf Queen. She is one of the most quoted characters in Shakespeare's works, always revolving around the great male protagonists (Henry VI, Richard III) but, on the other hand, she does not have a work of her own.

With The She-Wolf Queen, Carrió sets out to discover the exciting life of this historical character. Margaret will be a bride, wife, lover, queen, mother, warrior, widow and visionary witch. She will plot political intrigues, lead the Lancastrian armies, fight against the Yorks and, finally, lose the war, the crown, her husband and her only son. She will go into exile in France but will return to England, at the age of fifty, to announce the end of Richard III's reign of terror.
