On the morning of February 8, 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots enters the great hall where she will soon be executed for treason, where she meets Barnaby Fulke, an enigmatic actor sent to provide merriment before the chop. With one last chance to set the record straight, Mary stages her story, revisiting the spies, secrets and betrayals that sealed her fate. Written by Neil Edwards and directed by Emily Bignell, this three-hander features Rachel Waters as Mary, Queen of Scots, Jaimie Bremner as Barnaby Fulke, and Livy Potter as Euston Valiant. Historically accurate until an unexpected twist, the play offers a contemporary perspective on the 16th-century Scottish Reformation.
