Elizabeth I is the only unmarried woman to have ever ruled England. And she reigned for forty-four years. Mastermind. Seductress. Survivor.
Swive [Elizabeth] premiered in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe, London, in December 2019.
"A potent study of women, power and patriarchy... Hickson writes with her usual mix of wit, intelligence, empathy and a metallic clarity of thought, interlacing history with anachronism to show how the pressure that women face to attach themselves to a man – or else mark themselves as 'other' – remains little changed." —The Stage
