The tale of the almost Queen​​

Friday 21st November and Saturday 22nd November at St Barnabas Church, Erdington.

 

Remembered in history through the legacy of the men surrounding her, the Empress Matilda was a strong, brave and complex woman who was the almost Queen of Medieval England.

​

The daughter of King Henry I, Matilda was destined for greatness from a young age - marrying the Holy Roman Emperor at just 11 years old. She becomes the heir to the English throne, but when her father dies it's her cousin Stephen who takes the crown. A fierce civil war ensues, now known as the Anarchy.

​

BROC will be staging the premiere of this powerful show that places Matilda front and centre of her own story.
