Maria Stuart

Grzegorz Wisniewski once again reaches for a classic drama about human passions enmeshed in the ruthless machinery of history and intrigue. England, 16th century. A devastating religious war and a bloody struggle between two women queens: England and Scotland - for power over all of Britain. Friedrich Schiller's drama, based on historical events, has been a stage staple for two hundred years, and the roles of the two protagonists challenge actresses of successive generations. What price can one pay for defeating one's opponents - ideological and political? And is it the price of one's own humanity?
