Margaret of Anjou has more lines in Shakespeare's plays than any other woman, and even more than King Lear or Othello. And yet, the British playwright never dedicated a play to her. To rectify this injustice, director and playwright Pau Carrió has created The wolf queen, a show created from the character's appearances in the three parts ofHenry VI and in Richard III who finally sees that combative queen. "She has a singular, unique story. She interacts with power, she sees that there are struggles and she fights. In the eyes of other men, she comes to be seen as an evil character, a she-wolf," explains Carrió. The actress responsible for embodying this protagonist is Maria Rodríguez Soto, who is accompanied on stage by six men –Quim Ávila, Pepo Blasco, José Julien, Xavi Ricart, Pau Roca, and David Vert– as well as Queralt Casasayas. The show premieres this Wednesday in the Sala Petita of the TNC.

At noon, I hung out a machine-made load of linen. It's pleasant to hang it up, fragrant and wet, fresh and carnal, refined not by the pieces but by their use, like laundry after an illness, as if hanging sheets and pillowcases had been hung between them the nights spent, and hanging the T-shirt had been hung the evening I wore them for a sound hike the other day in the mountains, not far away because the dog has grown old and can't keep up.

Oriol Broggi fell from his horse in 1993 at the Avignon Festival in front of The Tempest From Peter Brook: "I liked it so much that I decided to dedicate my life to the theatre." Brook's influence has permeated many of Broggi's works. Storm: not only in the material elements, such as the everlasting sand floor, the wooden canes, the details of the costumes, I would say also the choice of Babou Cham for the ethereal role of the spirit Ariel or the unleashed energy of the slave Caliban, but for the aesthetic textures and the cadence of the scenes, which kick off with a brilliant shipwreck scene that makes a virtue of extreme simplicity. Pure Brook.

Lluís Soler (Manlleu, 1954) has all the words of The storm marked syllable by syllable. The actor confesses to being "a lover of verse" and, for months, has been working to ensure that Shakespeare's final play remains deeply rooted in him before bringing it to life on stage, in the role of Prospero, under the direction of Oriol Broggi. The storm is La Perla 29's summer production, part of the Grec Festival and featuring nine actors on stage, including Clara de Ramon, Xavier Boada, and Babou Cham. The show premieres on June 25 at the Biblioteca Theater, where it will run until July 26.
