Mary: A Gig Theatre Show

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Chosen by God, but held up by the shaking arms of insatiable men, readying the fall. Blending haunting original music and rich spoken word, Mary: A Gig Theatre Show is a bold reimagining of Mary Queen of Scots' story. A fresh, feminist retelling of the queen's story and made by early career Scottish theatre makers, Mary delves into the queen's inner world providing an emotional response to the hardships Mary faced at the hands of men. From Knot Tied theatre, and after an acclaimed run during the 2024 Festival, Mary is an uplifting, rocking journey through time from an extremely talented group of musicians establishing themselves in the Scottish theatre and music scene.
