Eight Days
The Cockpit Theatre, NW8 8EH , [Venue Details]1st February 1587. Mary, Queen of Scots, after twenty years of captivity, still remains imprisoned in Fotheringhay castle.
Unbeknownst to her, Queen Elizabeth I - her own cousin - has signed her death warrant.
She has only eight days left to live.
Haunted by her past and still protesting her innocence, in these final eight days Mary is confronted by the consequences of her decisions, grappling with her inner demons whilst remaining devoted to her faith.
As she braces herself for death, Mary, still a queen, deliberately sows the seeds for her own enduring legacy as martyr and icon.
In her end was truly her beginning.
Combining mesmerising and evocative music by Louis Mander and a powerful and moving libretto by Louisa Petaï, Eight Days is a one-woman opera which draws upon contemporary historical accounts and uses Mary's own words above all.
