1702. William III is on the throne and England is on the verge of war.

Princess Anne is soon to become Queen and her advisors vie for influence over the future monarch. Whom can Anne turn to when even her most trusted friends seem bent on pursuing power?

Contending with deceit and blackmail, Anne must decide where her allegiances lie and whether to sacrifice her closest relationships for the sake of the country.

Helen Edmundson's gripping play explores the little-known story of a monarch caught between friendship and duty. Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the play premiered at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon in 2015 and was revived at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London in 2017.
