The Poesie: Mary Tudor Speaks of and to Titian’s Women. 3-5 pm. Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Yes, this sounds fancy. I decided to throw in a little curve ball. This is the world premiere of a dramatic monologue written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and theater critic Hilton Als in response to the exhibition Titian: Women, Myth, & Power. Mary I, the first queen regnant of England, married Philip II of Spain in 1554, shortly after the young prince commissioned six paintings from renowned Renaissance artist Titian. Als’ monologue considers Titian’s poesie, or painted poetries, from the future Queen’s perspective. More information here.
