Mary Queen of Scots

@ The Maltings, Berwick

Book Now

Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary Stuart defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. However, Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth I. Each young Queen beholds her sister in fear and fascination. Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence.

“The film succeeds best when it shows how in times more conducive to the friendship of women in power the two queens could have been sisters under the skin.” – Rolling Stone.
