Directed, created and choreographed by Mariana Araoz. With strong character actors Olivia Longo as Mary Stuart, Vanessa Poole as Elizabeth the First & accompanying ensemble.
ABOUT THE PLAY
An original multilingual adaptation which springs from and is inspired by the play "Mary Stuart" by Friedrich Schiller; a brand new text-and-movement creation focusing on the lives and haunting destiny of historical figures Mary Stuart Queen of Scots and Queen Elisabeth the First. 👑👑
They were women, they were queens and they were cousins; destined to be enemies from birth, united by power, tossed into a seething political maelstrom, a tale as relevant to today as it is to the past. The play is a mystery-crime-story investigating power and gender from the perspective of what possibilities a Queen has to rule in a man's world.
