2011.9.14. Mary Stuart @ACT

ACT Theatre presents Mary Stuart by Peter Oswald after a play by Schiller. The last few days of Mary's life. Elizabeth's dilemma and cunning; Robert Dudley's lightening switch wind between the 2 queens; Lord Burleigh's hard determination; Lord Shrewsbury's worry of Mary's death might taint Elizabeth's reputation; Paulet - a jailor par excellence; and a fictional young Mortimer who devoted to free Mary. Wonderful dialogues and acting. No stage. Modern clothing, except for the queens.

ACT is making this performance PWYC everyday. I hope more people can come and enjoy it. All the arts groups are desperate financially.
