1536

Pickett skewers how misogyny trickles down from kings and courtiers to village boys and lovers. The result is a play that feels vital and gripping. With its killer laugh-out-loud one-liners, pitch-perfect performances, and chilling observations, 1536 isn’t just a period piece; it’s a call to arms, dressed up as a comedy. The play addresses the impossibility of womanhood; the reason they loved you once will be the same reason they hate you now. A sentiment as true today as it was in 1536.
