Written and Performed by Miriam Cooper
The play follows the dynamic journey of two amazing women;
The royal queens of the Tudor and Stewart dynasties –
Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots.
In a play of passion and treachery we witness the collision which these two sovereigns seemed unable to avoid. It is a tale that has ignited the imagination for centuries.
This is the Scottish touring premier of Sister Queens, a one woman performance originally produced for the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, where Miriam worked with Glenda Jackson and the historian David Starkey, appearing on the front page of a number national newspapers and subsequently touring throughout England.
In this the year of The Homecoming, Mary is brought home to the land of her throne.
This acclaimed solo performance feels the power of Elizabeth I and the pain of Mary Queen of Scots. The fight for the crown takes you through the passions of this cut-throat time. Be with these extraordinary women from childhood to…
Was the death of one the only answer?
You the audience are these Queens’ subjects, sympathizers, enemies – but most of all witnesses to the events of the C16th which shaped the destiny of the Thrones of Scotland and England. Enter the prison and the courts, private chambers and public processions as you journey with the cousins who called themselves Sister Queens.
