Mary: A Gig Theatre Show is a folk-rock theatre production by Knot Tied Theatre and Emma Ruse Productions, telling the story of Mary Queen of Scots through powerful original music and spoken word. A live band drives the action, and the show searingly questions what Mary faced at the hands of men, offering a riotous and mesmerising response. Staged at Other Yin and running for 60 minutes, it is recommended for audiences aged 16 and over. The production carries warnings for pulsing lights, loud noises, and references to blood, death and murder.
Why see this show?
If you want live music and theatre fused into something genuinely charged, this delivers. The folk-rock format gives Mary's story a raw, urgent energy that more conventional productions miss.
