Mary Stuart

Mary Stuart

Mary Stuart, otherwise known as Mary Queen Of Scots, is detained without trial on suspicion of plotting to depose Queen Elizabeth I. As pressure builds on Elizabeth to authorise her execution, the supporters of both queens will stop at nothing to achieve their ends.

I am delighted to confirm that I have been invited to direct a new translation of Friedrich Schiller’s fascinating political thriller, Mary Stuart. The parallels with current politics are uncanny; internment without trial, religious fanaticism, a divided Europe and a Government struggling to establish a legal basis to act against a terrorist threat.

The performance dates are 6 – 13 November 2010 and it will be in The Ron Barber Studio. I’ll hold auditions in August but in the meantime you can download the script here

You can also download some background notes on the play here.
