MARY
QUEEN OF ROCK

Welcome to ‘The next SIX!’. We couldn’t be more excited to be welcoming this Edinburgh Fringe hit, sell-out sensation, to Hever Castle. The perfect historic setting, we are the only dates the show is playing in the South of England. So book soon, it’s sure to be a festival sell-out here too.

You think you know the story of Mary, Queen of Scots? Think again… The year is 1561. The Scottish Reformation has enforced an outright ban on rock & roll. Cue the arrival of Mary Stuart, one of the world’s biggest and most iconic musical artists, who happens to be the undisputed Queen of Rock! With the Scottish nobles and her cousin in England against her, can Mary get the country rocking? Or will heads roll?

Mary, Queen of Rock! is a highly original take on a classic Scottish story, with new music, a live band, tragedy, comedy and characters you will love. It will be an incredible night of entertainment.

This is an original new musical which features several different genres of music, though is essentially a rock opera with a variety of different styles of rock and roll. Inspired by the music of Stevie Nicks, Avril Lavigne, ACDC, The Rolling Stones and more. This show is upbeat, loud and in your face.

Why is it that when a powerful woman is at the top of her game, society does everything it can to tear her down? This is true in the story of Mary, Queen of Scots and it’s true in popular culture today as this classic story is re-examined for a modern audience. The story of Mary Queen of Scots resonates globally and there is still so much intrigue surrounding this woman on an international scale.
