The Secret Diary of Mary Queen of Scots

A brand new Children's Theatre show about Scotland's tragic Queen; her birth, journey to France, return to a turbulent Scotland, marriages, imprisonment and executionÉ Phew! Join Mary on a zany, informative and highly entertaining tour of her life, told through her secret diary!

After the success of our last participatory schools theatre project, Spik Nae Evil, we return with The Secret Diary of Mary Queen of Scots.

Designed for P4 - P7's, Abderite will spend a whole day in your school, delivering this fantastic and imaginative programme.

The morning session will be split into two workshops:
Workshop 1 Pupils learn aspects of Mary's life through drama and creative dance. Workshop 2 Pupils rehearse the part they will play in the theatre show.

In the afternoon, the children will see a professional theatre show, devised by the company - and the children will perform in it too!

Pupils participate as audience and as part of the performance while learning skills in a new and entertaining way.

Abderite would suggest that the P1 -P3's also watch the theatre show so as the older pupils have an audience to perform to!

The Secret Diary of Mary Queen of Scots will be available to schools from:
6th Nov 2006 - 2nd Feb 2007




Timetable of the day:

10:00 - 11:00 Queen Mary's drama and creative dance workshop

13:30 - 14:15 "The Secret Diary of Mary Queen of Scots" theatre show*
