Produced by The University of Idaho Department of Theatre Arts and written by University of Idaho alumni, Lauren Grove, the play was a fun mix of Elizabethan style and slang.
Love, Liz
by Lauren Grove
“Love, Liz” features Queen Elizabeth I and her closest friends and confidants in a fabulous night of gossip and intrigue. Will Elizabeth’s gal pals convince her that an illustrious marriage and an heir will quell her unruly heart, or will the flutters of her feelings for her rumored Romeo prevail? Get ready to listen to music, paint your nails and meet all of Elizabeth’s suitors — the good, the bad and the handsome. “Love, Liz” is a hilarious romp through history as Queen Elizabeth I of England must decide who (or if) she will marry.
