Day #6: Your favorite villainess female villain

Does anyone actually use the word "villainess" anymore? It is a stupid word and I hate it.

Anyway! Having gone with an obvious choice yesterday, I am going to be weird and unconventional and quite probably sacrilegious today and pick Joan Pucelle from 1 Henry VI. Obviously in real life Jeanne d'Arc

May I ask for your advice on a matter of higher education (mine)?

OMG YES. The double-casting of Joan and Margaret was totally awesome in the RSC version. The execution scene was absolutely harrowing, and then, about thirty seconds later, Margaret, swished onto the stage in blood-red velvet and everyone in the audience had a simultaneous, 'Oh, shit moment.

Someone should do a production with her based on Nippon Ichi's La Pucelle.

Margaret, Margaret, and Margaret. She's awesome.

Your answers to this meme are amazing. It makes me wish I could do it, except I'm a dilettante and have only read eight plays. Woe. :(

[angevin2]

You could always read more plays! ;)
