A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...After the death of her wealthy, far-older husband, a young mother finds herself alone with her teenage daughter for the first time. With a lavish house to themselves and no one to answer to, their newfound freedom creates a world of never-ending fun, where responsibility is out the window and the daughter learns to see things through her mother’s eyes. But as the outside world creeps into their makeshift safe haven, the daughter begins to realize that not everything is as her mother makes it seem.
Poor Queenie challenges us to empathize with flawed female characters struggling to make sense of the world around them. The play explores mental health, cycles of influence, developmental stagnation, and the lies we cling to for survival..."
