Maria Stuart
By Friedrich Schiller
Performed in German with English supertitles
Thu 29 & Fri 30 August 7.00pm Sat 31 August 6.00pm
KING'S THEATRE
Schiller referred to Maria Stuart as a romantic tragedy, well aware of the
appeal of the beautiful Queen overpowered by the political forces ranged
against her. This sumptuous production from the Vienna Burgtheater is both
a psychological exploration and a sometimes brutal account of personal
tragedies played out on the world's political stage.
