Mary Said What She Said

Isabelle Huppert stars in one of Robert Wilson’s final masterpieces.

One of the greatest stage and screen actors of our time, Isabelle Huppert delivers a spellbinding solo performance as Mary Queen of Scots. Directed and designed by the late Robert Wilson, a towering figure in avant-garde theatre, this production bears all the hallmarks of his creative genius.

Written by novelist Darryl Pinckney, with a score by celebrated composer Ludovico Einaudi, the work plunges us into the psyche of Mary Stuart - a woman involved in some of the most notorious plots of her time, and a woman exiled, isolated and misunderstood.

Rich in the symbolism and imagery that earned Robert Wilson the title of “the world’s foremost vanguard theatre artist,” this work is unforgettable - a propulsive exploration of identity and power.
