One queen will win; one must fall. This highly-charged political drama is about two mighty royals – Mary Stuart and Queen Elizabeth I – and the power play between two of history’s greatest monarchs. With inspiring, powerful characters, and a theme grounded in the struggle between religion, womanhood and statesmanship, this play mirrors and explores many of the same issues present today.
by Friedrich Schiller
