Anne Boleyn for President of the Class of 2014 Gina Doherty/Off With Her Head Productions

About This Show

Transport Anne Boleyn to a cutthroat liberal arts college. Enter Henry (the Eighth) – bro with a heart of gold and President of the all-powerful Student Council. Enter Catherine (Queen Catherine, that is), decked out in Lily Pulitzer and the Holy Bible. And enter Anne’s ladies (in waiting), who help her enforce the feminist agenda, with the hopes of landing one of them in the White House. Yes, that White House. In the new millennium, see if Anne’s mystical beauty, incessant drive, thirst for power, and daring lust can bring the Queen (Bee) to the top of the food chain.
