  • 1.  Boleyn Plays

    Are there any plays out there about the Boleyn sisters or that have a strong presence of Mary Boleyn. We have two INCREDIBLE actresses who are sisters, and we'd love to have them play sister before the older one graduates. Anne of the Thousand Days isn't high on my department head's list.

    I'm not aware of a play that focuses on the Boleyn Sisters. Not quite what you want, because it's cousins rather than sisters, but if you want British royalty with two women leads, you could look at "Mary Stuart."

    I also adapted Gail Carson Levine's "The Two Princesses of Bamarre" and directed it at my school. I think it was really successful -- I tried to do it in the style of "Peter and the Starcatcher." (And yes, I got permission from the author -- who also wrote "Ella Enchanted" -- and her agent.) I would love to have it done at another school -- send me a message if you're interested in the script. More info about the story at the link.

    Ditto. I'm ALWAYS looking for fresh material with strong female leads!
