Researching Elizabeth I, the Dowager Empress of China, and other powerful women taught me how Gertrude could navigate courtly dangers. In Gertrude, her intelligence shines through subtle actions, never relying on added dialogue to show her strength. 👑📜

#Gertrude #Hamlet #ShakespeareReimagined 🎭📖

I was never satisfied with Gertrude—a queen with so much potential reduced to a plot device. In Gertrude, I explore her as a woman of agency. How could she not reflect Elizabeth I, "married to England," navigating motherhood, power, and sacrifice? 👑✍️

#Gertrude #Hamlet #ShakespeareReimagined 🎭📖

Gertrude reimagines Hamlet through the queen’s eyes 👑. Here, she’s neither villain nor bystander but a woman navigating loss, power, and impossible choices. A richer, layered story emerges—of grief, resilience, and unseen battles.
