Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off is widely considered a modern Scottish classic and re-tells the well-known story of the life and death of Mary Queen of Scots.

Mary Stuart returns to rule Scotland after the death of her husband Dauphin of France, ignorant of Scottish culture. Elizabeth Tudor, her cousin, understands the ruthlessness required to become a powerful monarch. There can only be one ruler and one queen.

The deadly game soon unfolds as blood is spilled, wars are lost and won and the battle for the throne comes to a head.

Written by the current national poet/Makar Liz Lochhead, this robust, vigorous, funny and ultimately tragic tale examines the tensions between Scotland and England, between Catholic and Protestant and between women and men; many of which are still relevant today.

This is the beginning of a two year partnership with Royal Lyceum Edinburgh and is directed by Lyceum associate artist Tony Cownie.
