For a queen to stand, a queen must fall.
Featuring eleven of New Zealand's finest actors, this theatrical tour-de-force hinges on a brilliantly imagined meeting between Mary Queen of Scots, focus of simmering Catholic dissent, and her cousin, Elizabeth, Queen of England, who has imprisoned her.
Isolated by their duplicitous male courtiers, the women collide headlong, each wrestling with the rank, ambition and destiny their births have bestowed, against a thrilling background of political intrigue, plot and counter-plot.
