In the run up to the US Premiere of the play Three Queens by Rosamund Gravelle we are chatting to the playwright as well as not one, but two Marian historians - Dr Johanna Strong and Dr Peter Stiffell. 

Three Queens is about to open at Gamut Theatre in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.

The play is set on the eve of Jane Grey's execution, and the three royal ladies (one past ex Queen, one Queen Regnant, and one future Queen) find themselves at Greenwich Palace where familial connections run gamut (!) with religious strife. Mary I, Elizabeth I (as Princess) and the soon-to-be-beheaded Lady Jane Grey all meeting up. How would that go?

Today we're sorting out the historical truth about Mary I, and the future Good Queen Bess, as well as their cousin Jane.

Please welcome Ros, Jo and Peter!
