Isabelle Huppert returns to the Barbican Theatre for the UK premier of Robert Wilson’s Mary Said What She Said for a limited run in May 2024.
A Théâtre de la Ville’s production, Mary Said What She Said charts the tempestuous life of Mary Queen of Scots.
Written by Darryl Pinckney and with a score by Ludovico Einaudi, the performance resembles a whirlwind stream of thought of the doomed queen. Drawing on material from Mary’s own letters, it portrays the monarch as a woman battling the force of history to control her own fate, on the eve of her own death. Unbroken, does she believe her own lies?
In an illustrious career, Isabelle Huppert has received the French Molière Lifetime Achievement Award. She last played the Barbican in Phaedra(s) in 2016. Robert Wilson is regarded as one of the premier theatre and visual artists.
