Synopsis
Becoming Eleanor dramatizes the events that shaped the early life and character of Eleanor of Aquitaine from ages 15 to 29. Considered the most extraordinary woman in 12th-century European history, Eleanor was a key figure in both French and English politics until her death at age 82. She defied the church and tradition, redefining what a woman could be and could do. Her remarkable journey, told in this play, shows how she became the most influential woman of her time, eventually ruling as queen
