What happens when a woman tries to rule the world?” This is one of the questions playwright-actor-musician Whitney White poses in “By The Queen,” her musical adaptation of a Shakespearean theme through the persona of Queen Margaret of Anjou. In recent interviews, conducted during a rehearsal break, she and colleague Billy Finn recount the intrigue of working with this classic material and connecting it to rock and roll – notably Janis Joplin. Exerpts from the production are interspersed.
