The James Plays

By Rona Munro

Directed by Laurie Sansom

When The James Plays premièred, the critical and public impact was extraordinary. Now returning for a highprofile UK and international tour, these plays represent theatremaking at its very best.

Exhilarating and vividly imagined, The James Plays bring to life three generations of Stewart kings who ruled Scotland from 1406-1488. Each play stands alone as a unique vision of a country tussling with its past and future; viewed together they create a compelling narrative on Scottish culture and nationhood.

James I: The Key Will Keep The Lock .

Prisoner of England for 18 years, James is delivered back to his homeland, with an English bride, to reign as James I of

Scotland. Returning to a troubled nation, he faces terrible choices if he is to save himself, his Queen and the crown.



James II: Day of the Innocents

Crowned King at aged six, James II is a puppet in a vicious game between Scotland’s most powerful families. As he approaches adulthood, James must fight for his crown while the nightmares of his childhood torment him.

James III: The True Mirror

Charismatic, cultured and obsessed with grand gestures,

James III is loved and loathed by his nation. Scotland’s future may lie with his resourceful and resilient wife, Margaret of

Denmark. Can she rescue a struggling nation?
