there’s a shewolf
Piano arrangements and music direction by Sofia Geck
Sarah is obsessed with Margaret of Anjou, and she doesn’t quite know why. In there’s a shewolf, she sets out to get this fifteenth-century Queen of England on her own terms, retelling history with songs and red wine. But as the evening unfolds, Sarah realizes that it’s maybe her own story she’s trying to tell. Her voice and Margaret’s collide in a raw exploration of desire and power as she uncovers why she’s SO into this fiery queen. Combining original music, memoir, and the monarchy, there’s a shewolf is an intimate cabaret about women, wanting, and wanting women.
