Mary Stuart

A Queen Too Many As part of the season "Wars and Peace Normandy," the Comédie de Caen presents a story of merciless confrontation, a web woven with manipulations, betrayals, and reversals of allegiance. The court of England serves as the backdrop for this massacre where the male courtiers conspire around the two heroines of this drama, which has the airs of an infernal thriller. Between Mary Stuart, the imprisoned Queen of Scotland, and Queen Elizabeth I of England, the rivalry reaches its peak in the play written by Schiller based on historical events. Mary Stuart is a historical and political fiction of the finest kind that delves into the arcana of power and the religious stakes of a volcanic era. A tragedy with modern tones and unexpected comic accents, this ensemble show, a chiaroscuro fresco in costumes, elevates its intrigue and its characters caught in the turmoil of History. Duration 3h35 with intermission. Info and tickets.
