Mary Queen of Rock! - Assembly Rooms - Ballroom Dates: 1st-25th August @9.20pm Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/mary-queen-of-rock Mary Queen of Rock You think you know the story of Mary, Queen of Scots? Think again... The year is 1561. The Scottish Reformation has enforced an outright ban on rock'n'roll. Cue the arrival of Mary Stuart, one of the world's biggest and most iconic musical artists... who happens to be the undisputed Queen of Rock! With the Scottish nobles and her cousin in England against her – can Mary get the country rocking? Or will heads roll?
