Description

Liz Lochhead's play 'Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off' is about the bitter rivalry between Mary, Queen of Scots, and her cousin and fellow ruler, Elizabeth I of England. The story is presented in a distinctive cabaret style, with much of the dialogue in the 'Braid Scots' vernacular. It explores the deep sectarian divisions within Scotland and dramatises the fateful moment the country rejected Mary's Catholicism for the Protestantism of anti-feminist revolutionary John Knox.
