I, Elizabeth

At a vital crossroads in history, a young queen steps from the shadows to unburden herself of her many troubles and reveal her innermost thoughts on marriage, succession, religion, war, and the challenges to her throne. But time is against her...

Elizabeth I, Queen at 25, political phoenix and famously unmarried, she was the most educated woman of her Age – but who was the woman beneath the crown?

A five star success in Edinburgh 2010, I, Elizabeth! is the first full production from Dyad, which creates, produces and tours classic theatre with an innovative and contemporary emphasis. Using only Elizabeth’s own words adapted from letters, speeches and writings, I, Elizabeth illuminates a fascinating and insightful moment of decision in the young monarch’s reign.
