The Regina Monologues
By Sharmini Kumar

Power. Privilege. Problems.

Thirteen Queens delve into conversations about gender and power, with humour and heart. Holding court across three rooms at the same time, The Regina Monologues invites Melbourne to a unique evening, where everyone experiences a different show. Who will you choose to meet?

A series of monologues based on royal women from varying times and places, these are not your Disney Princesses. They’re more complicated and less virtuous. They don’t all learn lessons. They don’t all get happy endings. They didn’t all marry, and they didn’t all find love.

A powerful new interactive theatrescape from Sharmini Kumar, The Regina Monologues is a celebration of some of our strongest and most powerful women across history, featuring stories from the past that illuminate how we live today. With a cast of fresh and diverse faces from the Melbourne arts scene, this latest production by 24 Carrot Productions is running for THREE SHOWS ONLY and not to be missed.

Formed by theatre and filmmaker Sharmini Kumar with a view to re-imagine and re-invigorate our most loved classics for contemporary audiences, 24 Carrot Productions has been creating new works since 2011. Past productions include 2 Gentlemen, The Complete Works of Shakespeare, The Importance of Being Ernest, Shakespeare in Therapy, The Margins of Persuasion and the ever-popular annual Austen Con.
