FOUR QUEENS – An insider’s “First Look” at a new musical set in medieval France

FOUR QUEENS – An insider’s “First Look” at a new musical set in medieval France

Four sisters from medieval Provence. Incredibly, all become queens: of France, England, Germany and Sicily. The new musical Four Queens brings their fascinating yet little-known story to dramatic life.   Join us as six actors plunge you into 13th century Europe, teeming with holy wars, civil wars, and personal betrayals. These sisters also find themselves at war – sometimes as allies, sometimes as enemies – as they confront their greatest challenge: will their family love, and their beloved Provence, survive?
