The Arts

Wildwoman

Seductively funny with a daring twist on regal history, Wildwoman follows Catherine de Medici, the young newlywed of King Henry II of France. While Catherine thinks her life at court will be a fascinating forum of political discourse, reality sets in when she realizes the palace is a cruel and disturbing place where her singular function is to be a baby-making machine for male heirs. Enemies are everywhere, but Catherine finds kinship with the paperback-romance hot, head-to-toe hair wildman kept in the dungeons as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities. He awakens Catherine’s own wild side, and then no one is save from her vengeful wrath.
