Details

Jamie the Saxt is the story of King James VI - James I to the English - before he became the first monarch of the United Kingdoms on the death of Queen Elizabeth I. Young Jamie Stewart is shown as a statesman who, in spite of the threats to the crown, his own life, and the stability of the state, manages to triumph through an unheroic combination of luck, folly, tenacity and cunning. As the Act of Union is called into question by the demand for Scottish independence, the play is also a unique opportunity to see where the Union really began...
