PANDER...ing by ptmc
Sunday January 24, 2021
What if Shakespeare felt maker's remorse in presenting HENRY VI's Joan of Arc, & TROILUS & CRESSIDA's Pandarus, & enlists the patronage of Queen Elizabeth to assist him in giving both Pandarus & Joan d’Arc makeovers? Perhaps change history in the process? Achilles, Patroclus, Mistress Overdone, Anne Hathaway, Mrs. Aphra Behn, Edward DeVere and even a Gallant Stool join in the fray. And what’s that underlying thrum regarding authorship?

Joanne Lessner as Joan la Pucelle – (1412-1431 A.D.) from Henry VI

Kate Konigisor as Queen Elizabeth – (1533-1558-1603 A.D.) the Queen, Shakespeare’s patron

Jordan Tierney as Gallant Stool – (21st Century) planted cast member
C.K. Edwards as Achilles – (1200 B.C.E.) from Troilus & Cressida
