Maria Stuart

Francis John Lamport

Presents Schiller's dramatic interpretation of the conflict between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots.

Mary Stuart

Pretty good play honestly. The play circulates around the imprisonment and further execution of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. The play describes everything in a flawless manner: the setting, every character being well defined and having an important role, strong political angles, the climax being a detailed description of how it feels when the death is nearby and how the antagonist of the play, Queen Elizabeth, tries to escape the responsibility to prevent any uprise. I also like the fact that the introduction of Queen Elizabeth circulates around her refusal to marry in order to enjoy her freedom, which is a subtle yet important jab at Mary Stuart's character who is currently yearing for it due to wrongly being imprisoned.

Amazing play and if you're into medieval history, then this is an absolute must!

Friedrich Schillers im Jahr 1800 uraufgeführtes und 1801 publiziertes Trauerspiel in fünf Akten quot, Maria Stuartquot, gilt aufgrund seines vollendeten Aufbaus als Musterbeispiel des klassischen deutschen Dramas. Das Werk spielt in England im Jahr 1587. Schiller spitzt den Konflikt zwischen zwei grossen, gegensätzlichen Frauen zu: Königin Elisabeth I. von England und ihre Rivalin um den Thron, die schottische Königin Maria Stuart. Anstatt sich allzu streng an die historischen Fakten zu halten, fügt er zusätzliche Figuren (etwa Mortimer) und Begebenheiten hinzu, damit verleiht er der an drei Tagen stattfindenden Handlung mehr Leben und Spannung, etwa durch die Begegnung der beiden Königinnen im dritten Akt, dem Höhepunkt von Schillers erfolgreichem Drama. Text aus Reclams Universal-Bibliothek mit Verszählung der gedruckten Ausgabe.
