Next in our season

Mary Stuart, By Dacia Maraini

April 21 – May 4, 2025
Motel Theatre
Directed by Javier Vilalta

Standard ticket is $30.

Freely inspired by the work of Friedrich von Schiller, Dacia Maraini’s Mary Stuart depicts a confrontation between the Queen of Scotland and her cousin, Elizabeth I, Queen of England. But more than a historical drama, it is a conflict between two women that is at stake here. Mary Stuart envies the power her cousin holds; Elizabeth is jealous of the femininity of others. The conflict is also internal, because each person is in struggle with herself, struggling with dreams that thwart her ambitions.

From director Javier Vilalta: “What excites me most is to give two female performers the opportunity to showcase their talents in a staging where gender and politics are explored at length.” The cast includes Lauren Brotman and Norma Lewis.
