In this version of Taming of the Shrew there is no question that women rule…Taming is anything but tame.” ~ Phoebe Hoban, The NY Times “Bearded or barefoot, these ladies act up a storm.” ~ Terry Teachout, The Washington Post “The entire company is refreshing and enormous fun and a great contribution to New York Theatre.” ~ John Heilpern, The NY Observer “Never did we have a raunchier or more spirited production of The Taming of the Shrew than the Queen's Company's current offering…a remarkable interpretation of Shakespeare's timeless comedy.” ~ Irene Backalenick, Back Stage “The rollicking new production of The Taming of the Shrew by the all-female Queen’s Company is an endearing outing…a hymn to the pleasures of sex play and the sensual imagination.” ~ George Hunka, NYTheatre.com Welcome to Illyria, a land of blind and hungry lovers dancing an age-old dance of love & cruelty. The Queen’s Company brings you an exciting and innovative production of Shakespeare’s classic comedy. Featuring their celebrated all-female cast, Twelfth Night interweaves lip-synched musical numbers with Shakespeare’s witty words of danger & desire. A comedic masterpiece that is bound to delight, happy ending guaranteed! The Queen’s Company is a non-profit organization dedicated to innovative productions of classical plays featuring an all-female ethnically diverse company of actors which puts a contemporary spin on Shakespeare’s brand of transgender casting. Their productions interweave contemporary music and movement sequences with top-notch Shakespearean performances. The Queen’s Company was founded by Artistic Director Rebecca Patterson, who emphasizes that their mission also offers female artists a broader range of roles with less focus on gender and race. Says Patterson, “Fifty percent of the actors in equity are female and they get only forty percent of the roles and the numbers are even lower for actors of color. I think it’s our responsibility as a New York theater company to reflect our city’s diversity. I want to see a stage that looks like a New York City subway stop.” Rebecca Patterson is Artistic Director of The Queen’s Company (NYC), known for its innovative productions of classical plays featuring all-female casts. Past Queen’s Company productions include The Taming of the Shrew, Edward II, School For Scandal, Much Ado About Nothing, The Lucky Chance, Antony & Cleopatra, The Feign’d Courtesans, The Duchess of Malfi, The Rover and Macbeth. Patterson’s other NYC directing credits include Wapato (Women’s Project), Greeks & Centaurs (Women’s Project), The Gabriels (SPF) and The Imaginary Invalid (Resonance Ensemble). The cast includes Dionne Audain, Virginia Baeta, Karen Berthel, Aysan Celik, Amy Driesler, Meredith Forlenza, Natalie Lebert, Gisele Richardson, Indika Senanayake, Carey Urban and Kari Washington. The design/production team consists of Jeanette Aultz Look (Costume Design), Raquel Davis (Light Design), Kip Marsh (Set Design), Amanda McCroskery (Fight Director), Jane Shaw (Sound Design) and Annalee Fannan (Stage Manager). Trains: 1 to 28th St. or A,B,C,D,E,F,N,Q,R,V,W to 34th St.
