TEXTS&
BEHEADINGS/
ELIZABETHR
With a swift sword-stroke to Anne Boleyn’s neck, the Princess Elizabeth becomes a royal bastard. Elizabeth, age 3: “How hath it yesterday ‘Lady Princess’ and today but ‘Elizabeth?'"
Fresh from a triumphant run at BAM’s New Wave Festival, Karin Coonrod's texts&beheadings/ElizabethR is a dazzling theatrical self-portrait taken from
Queen Elizabeth’s own poems, letters, speeches and prayers.
