Mary Stuart

by Friedrich Schiller Narrated by LibriVox Community

Overview

Powerful psychological drama deals with political and spiritual conflict between Elizabeth I of England and Mary, Queen of Scots. The five-act play in blank verse takes place in the days before Mary's execution for treason, and focuses on the two royal antagonists' personal and political conflicts—Mary a loving idealist with an intuitive heart, Elizabeth a cold, calculating, power-hungry realist. Translated by Charles E. Passage.
