Rebecca Mordan’s strident Elizabeth commands the stage like a regal battleship.
What’s On
Inventively directed, Ryan McBryde creates a conspiratorial atmosphere with an excellent cast.
What’s On
Lucinda Raikes’ Mary is alive, individual, feminine, manipulative yet heart-warming.
What’s On
Scary Little Girls insist that the German Playwright’s themes – asylum, religion and the State and civil rights still prevail in today’s post 9/11 climate – they’re not wrong.
Time Out
Scary Little Girl’s Maria Stuart has a clarity and purpose that drives into the imagination … An exciting, danger-edged production.
Reviews Gate
Papist versus Protestant, vulnerable ‘natural’ woman versus skilled but dehumanised political actress, it’s a great story. Ryan McBryde’s production opts for a daring time travelling portentousness … it very nearly achieves sublimity.
Time Out
A paper for the Contemporary Theatre Review in 2006, by Bettina Göbels and John Guthrie, considered our production of Maria Stuart alongside other productions around the same time.
