Why does Bertram dislike Helena so? Because she’s a werewolf, of course! Moon- Crossed, a response to and parody of All’s Well That Ends Well, examines the concept
of the monstrous woman, women’s power and influence in early modern drama, and the ways women in Shakespeare’s plays use their wealth, bodies, and minds to survive hostile situations. Drawing from Shakespeare’s plays, the Malleus Maleficarum, Marie de France’s “Bisclavret,” Shakira, Charles Addams, and more, Moon-Crossed is a fun and fast- moving play for all theater and pop culture aficionados.
