‘My mother seduced a man so successfully that he altered the constitutional history of this country.’Elizabeth I is the only unmarried woman to have ever ruled England. And she reigned for forty-four years. Mastermind. Seductress. Survivor.Created by award-winning writer Ella Hickson and director Natalie Abrahami, Swive [Elizabeth] shines a light on the ways and means by which women in power negotiate patriarchal pressure in order to get their way.It premiered in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe, London, in December 2019.
Ella Hickson's previous plays include ANNA at the National Theatre, The Writer and Oil at the Almeida, Wendy & Peter Pan for the RSC, Boys, Precious Little Talent and Eight.
'A potent study of women, power and patriarchy... Hickson writes with her usual mix of wit, intelligence, empathy and a metallic clarity of thought, interlacing history with anachronism to show how the pressure that women face to attach themselves to a man – or else mark themselves as 'other' – remains little changed'
