I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for a wonderful prompt! Anne has such an odd relationship to Margaret, in that they're constantly associated with one another, but are never seen together, at least not in the text. They don't interact at all, and Margaret doesn't even mention her later in the play, during the lamentation scene.

I must admit that I've always preferred the less hysterical Annes -- Zoƫ Wanamaker in the BBC version, Kristin Scott Thomas in McKellen/Loncraine, and Hannah Barrie in the recent Michael Boyd production. But what nobody really seems to pay much attention to is the relationship Anne must have had with her father, who is such a key figure in the plays, and how that affected her dealings with both Margaret and Richard. I had a great time playing around with that.
