The Department of Drama and Theatre Arts presents Swive [Elizabeth] by Ella Hickson.
Directed by Adam Ledger. 

"How can I be queen of a country and subject to a husband…"

Elizabeth I is the only unmarried woman to have ever ruled England. And she reigned for forty-four years. Mastermind. Seductress. Survivor.

Swive [Elizabeth] takes a modern view of history to explore the means by which women in power negotiate patriarchal pressure in order to get their way. And stay safe when they do… 

This amateur production of “Swive [Elizabeth]" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
