Take a look at these amazing rehearsal photographs of Queen Anne which opens at The Theatre Royal Haymarket on 30th June, after originally opening at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in November 2015.
The production stars Romola Garai as Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough and Emma Cunniffe as Queen Anne. It is written by Helen Edmundson and directed by Natalie Abrahami and will play for a limited 13 week run, until 30th September.
Queen Anne explores the life of one of England’s little-known sovereigns and her friendship with her childhood confidante Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. A timely production for turbulent political climes, the reign of Queen Anne saw the rise of the free press as well as the Act of Union between England and Scotland.
