Beowulf play puts queen in fictional love triangle

Beowulf play puts queen in fictional love triangle:




Marie Antoinette's life wasn't an easy one. The queen of France was pretty much hated by the French people, had a meddling mother, was often blamed for the French Revolution, and met up with the guillotine in 1793.
Heck, who'd blame her if she became embroiled in a love triangle?
It's a scenario that playwright Joel Gross has imagined in "Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh," which Beowulf Alley Theatre opens Friday.
