BURN

Burnt Flamingo ProductionsProfessional company

60 minutesThe Vault
Condemned in history as a brutal queen unfit to rule, 'Bloody' Queen Mary converses both with her own historical legacy and the archbishop she has condemned to burn at the stake in this defiant, feminist play. Mary, a queen vilified in history, a delusional madwoman. Cranmer, a historical martyr. History tells us so. But what of the woman behind the bloody reputation? What of the man behind the martyr? BURN gives a voice to the first woman to dare to hold royal power in England – and questions how villains are made and how we write women into history.
