Three hundred years after the death of Queen Anne in 1714, a play by Kate Glover highlights the intrigue, plots and squabbles in a tantalisingly little known reign. When Queen Anne, shy, gout-ridden and overweight, ascends the throne in 1702, the Jacobites, proto-terrorists, will stop at nothing to kill her and put her half-brother, the Roman Catholic James Stuart, on the throne. James just happens to be supported by the hugely powerful Louis XIV of France. Court favourites vie for influence with the Queen. Coalition politics spark off intense rivalries between Whig and Tory politicians. With her husband and children all dead, how will the Queen cope?T01005164615Company Historia Theatre Company.
