Vermont Shakespeare Festival Presents MARY STUART

Vermont Shakespeare Festival will present the U.S. premiere of a new version of the only classical play starring two women in power, Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart. It will be presented as a staged reading, the latest in the Salon Series, on Saturday, October 6th at 7 p.m. at the Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro, and on Sunday, October 7th at 3 p.m. in the McCarthy Recital Hall at St. Michael's College. This is a rarely seen epic in a fresh and lean adaptation.

Adaptations of Mary Stuart have recently played to great acclaim on Broadway, the West End and the Stratford Festival. See it before the release of the film in December 2018 starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, directed by House of Cards creator Beau Willimon.

Directed by Margo Whitcomb, the presentation will feature Sorsha Anderson as Mary Queen of Scots, Jena Necrason as Queen Elizabeth and a cast of regionally prominent actors.
