CATALINA is a playful examination of the dynamics of women, theatre, and history, combining metatheatre, feminism, and pop culture. Catherine of Aragon, a.k.a Catalina, attempts to tell her story after having been overshadowed by her husband Henry VIII. Three actresses play a variety of women and men who supported or blocked her. Together, they examine how history and theatre pit women against each other, how history is written by the (male) winners, and the pitfalls of being a working actress. The play manipulates time and identity while commenting on the fact that the play itself was written by a male.
