Mary Queen of Scots

Mary Queen of Scots

Zavvi

The historical rivalry between two of Britain’s most fascinating monarchs is brought brilliantly to life in this thrilling period drama. When the Catholic Mary, Queen of Scots (Vanessa Redgrave) returns to her homeland to claim her throne, the court of her cousin, the Protestant Elizabeth I (Glenda Jackson) in neighbouring England, is thrown into turmoil, as the question of succession becomes an ever-pressing concern to the ‘Virgin Queen’. Political machinations and intrigue abound as the competing camps jostle for dominance, with the threat of the executioner's axe looming large. Stunning performances by Oscar-winners Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson are supported by a stellar ensemble cast including Trevor Howard, Ian Holm and Timothy Dalton, and an Oscar-nominated score by John Barry.
