- “Laced with an eroticism that pours down the corridors of power”
The Herald (UK)
Seduction, greed and deception lie at the heart of this thrilling account of the extraordinary relationship between Mary Queen of Scots and her cousin, Elizabeth I of England. Mary, implicated in her husband's murder, turns to Elizabeth for help, but finds her cousin distrustful of her motives.
Manipulated by duplicitous male courtiers, the women collide in a bloody feud that will threaten the very crown of England. If Mary lives, she is a threat to the throne; if she dies, Elizabeth must live with blood on her conscience.
Brilliant Scottish playwright David Harrower's (Blackbird) gripping modern version of this Schiller masterpiece, stars 11 top actors in a scintillating account of two iconic women whose lust for power sparked one of the most exhilarating displays of passion and politics the world has ever seen.
Written by: Friedrich Schiller
In a new version by: David Harrower
Directed by: Ross Jolly
