Lai dzīvo Karaliene, vivat! / Да здравствует Королева, виват!

Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Stuart. The Queen of England and the Queen of Scotland. Protestant and Catholic. Two rivals, two opposites, two legends. Two women who never met, but left a huge impact on each other's lives, as well as on European politics. On the other hand, it is also true that politics has interfered in their lives since birth. The British playwright Robert Bolt (1924-1995) describes his characters as follows: “Elizabeth is a remarkable woman, peculiar, nervous. She had a difficult, lonely and dangerous childhood. It has instilled in him discipline and the ability to look at many things clearly. [...] the strength of her character is manifested in the way that she brilliantly copes with the demands of her high position", while at the same time hiding her relentless and passionate desire to be happy, while "Maria is a capricious, sophisticated, passionate woman, beautiful, [...] sensual and very subjective. She was born a queen and used to bowing to her from the cradle."

This bright, sharp play full of intrigue and rapid turns could also be compared to an adventure novel or a spy thriller: caprices and conspiracies, recklessness and calculation, sacrifices and expediency, love and jealousy... Elizabeth chooses duty, power and England under any circumstances, but Mary chooses feelings the elements even when it comes to the crown. It is not for nothing that one of the biographers of the Queen of Scots called Mary's history a history of "murder, passion, religion and inappropriate lovers". And yet, if not politics... Although that's exactly what the story is about. There are relationships where it is impossible to avoid the poison of politics, be it the 16th or the 21st century.
