Mary Stuart

The play «Mary Stuart»» (1800) by the great German poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was created on the basis of documentary materials about the life of the last Catholic Queen of Scotland, Mary Stuart. This is the story of the confrontation of two great women, the conflict of two queens. About the throne, the essence of the nature of power. About mercy, honor and pride. Cunning and love.

For more than two centuries, it has told us about the price of freedom, the eternal conflict between «reason» and «emotions» in the human soul, the power of public opinion's influence on human life. About the struggle for domination that destroys their destinies.

«Mary Stuart» directed by Ivan Uryvskyi – not a reconstruction of past events, but rather a timeless story of the inner struggle and duality of human essence. This is not a legend covered in museum dust, but a story about us today, about people who make their choices every day.
