WILDWOMAN
By Kat Sandler
Director: Jamie King
This production is a Joint Production, produced by Alberta Theatre Projects (Calgary, AB) and Gateway Theatre (Richmond, BC).
Submission deadline for RICHMOND: July 17, 2025, 11:59pm PDT

Based on the shocking true story that inspired Beauty and the Beast, WILDWOMAN dives into the lives of three powerful women as they fight for survival, influence, and legacy within the treacherous walls of a royal court.
Newly-arrived in France, Queen-to-be Catherine de Medici must contend with her unruly husband, a scheming lady-in-waiting and the king’s power-hungry mistress as she struggles to give the kingdom what it needs most: an heir. But it’s Pete, the King’s pet wildman, a caged-oddity kept for amusement, who has the most surprising impact on their lives. His friendly and feral presence gradually awakens Catherine’s own wild side, and once she unleashes it, no one is safe from her vengeful wrath.
A viciously bold and sexy comedy, WILDWOMAN is about what happens when we let the monster out. Being bad never felt so good.
