Then, of course, there's always Shaw's "Dark Lady of the Sonnets."

Three video additions:
1)Yes it was Miranda Richardson as Eliz.I in Blackadder II.She particularly
enjoyed handing out death warrants to those not bringing her a present;
2)Quentin Crisp in Orlando--the aging queen [you fill in the wry comments
here];
3) Glenda Jackson in Elizabeth R, perhaps the most constant image of
EI that I carry around with me [the autographed picture of Glenda Jackson
in full garb on my desk not withstanding] She also played the queen
in Mary, Queen of Scots, the film w/Vanessa Redgrave in the title role.
 
Queenly regards from E3,
Elizabeth W.B. Schmitt

The Blackadder series is Blackadder II, and Miranda Richardson does do Q.
Elizabeth.  Elizabeth in this version has a Sloane Ranger diction, keeps
demanding "prezzies," and is sexually ravenous--"Hurry up, I want to go on to
the reception so I can get squiffy and seduce somebody."  Highly recommended.
 
See also Jane Austen's *History of England*, in which the much-maligned Liz
comes off rather badly, and the novel by (oh goodness, forget the name) *She
was Nice to Mice*.
