William Shakespeare was clearly fascinated by the role of Margaret of Anjou. Known primarily as the fierce warrior of her famous "molehill" speech, she is much more than that: young lover, adulterous wife, canny backroom operator, leader of an army, and finally, bereaved mother. Appearing in four separate plays and speaking more than 800 lines, Margaret of Anjou is the largest woman's part in Shakespeare's canon.
In this open rehearsal, The Shakespeare Society's Artistic Director Michael Sexton explores the many sides of the role with actress Kate Forbes (Othello, All's Well That Ends Well), legendary voice teacher and actress Kristin Linklater, and a group of recent graduates from the Tisch School of the Arts Graduate Acting Program at NYU. The evening features selections from King Henry VI, parts 1, 2 & 3, and Richard III.
