Mary of Scotland (play)
Mary of Scotland was a 1933 Broadway three-act play written in Blank verse
by Maxwell Anderson, produced by the Theatre Guild, directed by Theresa Helburn and with scenic
and costume design by Robert Edmond Jones. It ran for 248 performances from November 27, 1933 to July 1934
at the Alvin Theatre. A scene between Mary and Elizabeth never actually happened as they
never met. Anderson's son Quentin Anderson played a warder. It was included in
Burns Mantle's The Best Plays of 1933-1934.
It was adapted into a 1936 film Mary of Scotland mostly directed by John Ford
and starring Fredric March and Katharine Hepburn.
A rehearsal for the play provided the setting for a 1976 The Carol Burnett Show "Mama's Family" sketch featuring Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and guest star Madeline Kahn.Cast
