In the battle for history, who owns the truth?

Mary by Rona Munro
Directed by John Lally

Mon 15 – Sat 20 June 2026
Hill Street Theatre

Rona Munro’s blistering political thriller continues the arc of her James Plays, exploring a key event in the downfall of Mary, Queen of Scots. A loyal courtier, a devout Protestant servant, and an ambitious opportunist clash over Mary’s motives and whether she was coerced or complicit in her marriage to Bothwell, the likely murderer of her husband Darnley. As perspectives shift, the drama explores modern themes of sexual violence, truth, and male complicity in female trauma.

Tickets coming soon.

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
