Mary Queen of Scots is a retelling of the turbulent
life of Mary Stuart, based on the book Queen of Scots: The True Life of
Mary Stuart by Dr. John Guy. Queen of France at 16, at 18 Mary is widowed,
defies pressure to remarry and instead returns to her native Scotland to
reclaim her rightful throne. By birth, Mary has a rival claim to the throne
of Elizabeth I, who rules as England’s Queen. Contrary to earlier
accounts, and based on Dr. John Guy’s research, we see Mary as a capable
politician and leader who wanted an alliance with her cousin Elizabeth. Mary
fights to govern her unruly kingdom at a time when female monarchs are reviled
as monstrous. To secure their thrones, the two Queens make very different
choices about marriage and children. Mary’s reputation is under continual
attack from her enemies, who construct lies about her sexual conduct. Betrayal,
rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens–driving them
apart, as each woman experiences the bitter cost of power.
