The Arrival of the Queen of Sweden

Christina, The Girl King opens at the Stratford Festival today, and, with perfect timing, the book has just arrived from the presses!

About the play: Enigmatic, flamboyant and unpredictable, with a passion for philosophy and the arts, Sweden’s Queen Christina seeks to make her country the most sophisticated in Europe. But her personal aspirations – and her unconventional sexuality – put her profoundly at odds with her culture’s expectations of her, both as a monarch and as a woman.

This latest play by Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Linda Gaboriau, runs until September 21, 2014 in Stratford, Ontario. You can order your copy from Talonbooks.com for $16.95.
