An modern classic
Two queens battle each other.
Mary Stuart has been imprisoned for the last 19 years by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth - who is also a “prisoner” in her official and binding role as ruler of England.
The play takes place in the last 24 hours of Mary’s life, from the moment her sentence is delivered to the moment it is executed.
On the last day of Mary’s life we are witness to the storm that shakes Elizabeth’s stability: Her uncompromising attempts to preserve the sanctity of her cousin’s life at any cost, and her desire to be free from obligation.
Simultaneously, a shocking political thriller unfolds between the forces trying to protect the continuation of Elizabeth's reign and those trying to destroy it.
