Mary Said What She Said - Darryl Pinckney

Memory, open my heart. Let the past part my lips. The stars never lie. But how we misread them, bright drop after bright drop in the sea of night.Based on the letters of Mary Queen of Scots, Mary Said What She Said is the testimony of Mary Stuart as she awaits martyrdom, accused of involvement in the most notorious plots of the time. On the eve of her execution, after nineteen years in captivity, she tells of her passions and torments.Mary Said What She Said received its UK premiere at the Barbican Centre, London, in May 2024.
