About the author
Editorial Reviews
“Queen Goneril stays credible and remains compelling to its conclusion—and, thankfully, has its own enjoyable in-between dramatic voice; nothing too mock-Shakespearean, but unafraid to sample and remix his words.”
J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail
“... a post-modern wink to let us know that the crimes and micro-aggressions against women in the past still exist.”
Drew Rowsome, MyGayToronto
“Shields’ script imbues the sisters with complex and sympathetic human motivations—love, empathy, fear, jealousy, shame, rage—which are constricted by the suffocating cellophane of social mores, race, class and gender. These are characters striving to be their best, while society and circumstance reduce them to clawing holes and gasping for air.”
Scott Sneddon, SesayArts Magazine
