Friedrich Schiller’s Mary Stuart opens at the Cambridge Arts Theatre on April 23.
This new adaptation, created by Robert Icke, tells the story of two queens. one in power, one in prison and the execution that rewrites history.
Following a critically acclaimed, sold-out season at the Almeida Theatre and direct from the Duke of York’s Theatre in the West End, Robert Icke’s new adaptation of Mary Stuart comes to Cambridge as part of a limited UK tour.
