​

 '....Striking the balance between the struggles of having power, the influence of men, both past and present, and the all-important religious control of the time, Gravelle has written a script that puts the audience right in the centre of the conflict....'  

A Young(ish) Perspective  

 

' ....an impressive amount of character, emotion and machinations as our characters scheme their way through one decisive night....completely absorbing'

 Everything Theatre

​

'...One of the surprising things about Three Queens is how it subverts the usual depiction of well-known historical figures...'
