A play about Mary Queen of Scots by Helena Wood
with Vivien Merchant as Mary

The tragedy of the young Queen of Scots, already dowager Queen of France before she came of age, three times married before her imprisonment when she was 26 years old. Few public lives have been more intriguing. Was she involved in Darnley's murder? Did she marry Bothwell of her own free will? Her mysterious life is set against the religious and political squabbles of an age of violence.
