    Wicked Game : an art installation at Kenilworth Castle about Queen Elizabeth I, by Lindsey Mendick

    • Dudley into a bear that's reaching up and begging Elizabeth to marry him. In the same group we have Alain Resson, who also was going to be marrying Elizabeth, one of her suitors, and Philip of Spain. So these all surround her, but then next to them are each of the women that they kind of trampled through in order to get closer to Elizabeth. When Elizabeth first entered the castle, Dudley had actors sort of dressed as sybils that came to greet her to sort of use Greek mythology to tell her her fate. I am conveying the sybils to be more of a realistic viewpoint of what would happen if she was to marry. I think there's always so much talk around who was it that Elizabeth loved, but the more and more I've been looking into the story of her and Dudley, the more he becomes another person or another pawn in this sort of game of power. There's sort of a duality of what I want people to take away from this. I think it's always great if people start reading more into their history, and at the same time as that, I think I'd really like it to be a spectacle. And rather than looking at Elizabeth as a formidable queen who got it right, actually delving into her history and seeing what a struggle for power it was.
