The drama Mary Stuart is a tense political and existential drama of Game Of Thrones: The Catholic Queen Mary of Scotland and the Protestant ruler Elizabeth I of England.this German classic from 1800 puts the struggle for the crown at the forefront, but in it Friedrich Schiller, above all, subtly paints the duel of two worldviews, two notions of power and two inner worlds torn between responsibility, fear, allies, betrayals and human fragility. Mary is a prisoner sentenced to death, but remains steadfast, dignified and indomitable. Elizabeth, an outwardly all-powerful ruler with decision-making power, is internally torn apart and frightened. Mary Stuart is a drama of attrition, as director Diego De Brea says, and at the same time a drama of Rebellion – An Elegy about hopelessness, but also a hymn to indomitability. Mary is pushed into helplessness, but through adversity, solitude and doom, she creates a place for a quiet and persistent search for meaning, in which she persists until the very end. There are no winners in this drama – Only the consequences of decisions that are too great for the individual and too human for history remain. Mary Stuart opens up a theater space where Authority gets a face and history a heartbeat.
Drama Marija Stuart je napeta politična in eksistencialna drama igre prestolov: katoliške škotske kraljice Marije in protestantske angleške vladarice Elizabete I. Ta nemška klasika iz leta 1800 v ospredje sicer postavlja boj za krono, a v njej Friedrich Schiller predvsem subtilno slika dvoboj dveh svetovnih nazorov, dveh predstav o oblasti in dveh notranjih svetov, razpetih med odgovornost, strah, zaveznike, izdaje in človeško krhkost. Marija je zapornica, obsojena na smrt, a ostaja trdna, dostojanstvena in neuklonljiva. Elizabeta, navzven vsemogočna vladarica z močjo odločanja, pa je notranje razklana in prestrašena. Marija Stuart je drama ugašanja, kot pravi režiser Diego de Brea, in obenem drama upora – elegija o brezizhodnosti, a tudi himna neuklonljivosti. Marija je potisnjena v nemoč, a skozi stisko, samoto in pogubo ustvarja prostor za tiho in vztrajno iskanje smisla, v katerem vztraja do samega konca. V tej drami ni zmagovalcev – ostanejo le posledice odločitev, ki so prevelike za posameznika in preveč človeške za zgodovino. Marija Stuart razpre gledališki prostor, kjer oblast dobi obraz in zgodovina srčni utrip.
