The Donmar Warehouse production of Friedrich Schiller's MARY STUART, in a new version by Peter Oswald and directed by Phyllida Lloyd is playing at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street). The production stars Janet McTeer as Mary, Queen of Scots and Harriet Walter as Elizabeth I.
Janet McTeer is the recipient of the 2008 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play for her performance.
Seduction, greed and deception lie at the heart of the bitter rivalry between Mary, Queen of Scots (Janet McTeer) and her cousin, Elizabeth I (Harriet Walter) of England. After being implicated in her husband's murder, Mary turns to Elizabeth for help but finds her cousin distrustful of her motives. Thus begins a bloody feud that will threaten not just their family bond, but the crown of England... MARY STUART tells the story of two iconic women whose lust for power reveals one of the most thrilling displays of passion and politics the world has ever seen.
Joining Ms. McTeer and Ms. Walter, are Michael Countryman as Sir Amias Paulet; Adam Greer as O'Kelly; John Benjamin Hickey as Earl of Leicester; Michael Rudko as Count Aubespine/Melvil; Robert Stanton as William Davison; Maria Tucci as HAnna Kennedy; Chandler Williams as Mortimer; Nicholas Woodeson as Lord Burleigh and Brian Murray as Earl of Shrewsbury.
