Description "The production focuses on a bedraggled troupe of touring actors who bring the major events of Elizabeth's reign to life throught their recreation of a multitude of characters. Throughout, the fortunes of both Elizabeth and the actors rise and fall as the action shifts from the execution of Mary to war with Spain; and the two tales, of Elizabeth and the actors, become steadily interwoven."
