Don’t miss Schiller's thrilling account of the extraordinary relationship between England's Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots. While Mary is held captive in Fotheringay Castle, awaiting news of her trial for treason, Elizabeth is in turmoil considering the correct course of action for her and her country.
The Department of Theatre is teaming up with Actors’ Theatre of Columbus to produce Friedrich Schiller’s dramatic masterpiece. The production will be staged in the Thurber Theatre at Ohio State and Schiller Park in German Village, marking the first time Schiller’s work has ever been performed in the park bearing his name.
