SATContemporary Reading Series: Playing the Queen

Playing the Queen, by Finnish playwright Antii Mikkola, is a story of women and power. A power hungry MP, a dishonest skiing champion, and a mother suspected of her husband's murder are all about to be subjected to public trial. But is there any comedy to these women's public failings or merely contempt? Are women judged differently from men, and how do these women choose to portray their own femininity?
