The Virgin Trial

In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, author Kate Hennig cleverly explores the contemporary themes of victim shaming, sexual consent, and the extraordinary ability of girls becoming women as she reimagines the scandalous and little-known story of fifteen-year-old Elizabeth the First before she was Queen. Young princess Bess navigates a labyrinth of political and sexual intrigue in the Tudor court that threatens her freedom  and even her life.

Written by Kate Hennig. Directed by Michael Cooper. (Sept. 1-24, 2022).
