In the battle for history, who owns the truth?

Mary by Rona Munro
Directed by John Lally

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.

Postponement

Due to circumstances outwith our control, Union Theatre regrets that we cannot continue with our announced production of MARY by Rona Munro. While this is deeply disappointing, we expect to proceed with our plans to mount the show at a future date.

Customers who have already booked will receive a full refund, including fees, from our Box Office partner TicketSource. Refunds should be processed within 10 to 14 days.

Finally, we’d like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and support of our maiden venture, not least our incredible creative team and cast. We fully expect to work with them again in the future, and look forward to revealing our next project as soon as we are able.
