Working with OOR Theatre for the Edinburgh Fringe, we created a production delving into the lives of Mary Queen of Scots, Rizzio, and Lord Darnley.
Full of passion, deception, romance, politics and a humour, In Thy Hands located the audience in 1561, Scotland. The lords choose Henry Darnley for Mary's husband, but as the marriage frays both Mary and Darnley find respite in Italian secretary David Rizzio. Flitting between comedy and tragedy, Into Thy Hands explores the bond between the Queen, her husband and lover. This tale examines homophobia and relationships, and questions: Who decides our fate?
An audience member wrote that "the stage design, and costume design really suited the show so eloquently and harmoniously".
