Katara introduces The Faction Theater and Schiller’s Mary  Stuart for the first time in Qatar. A performance that gathered  astonishing reviews, Mary Stuart is a theatrical play that no one should miss. A political prisoner is accused of religious extremism,  incitement of war, and masterminding an assassination. She has been retrospectively charged with a law that was invented specifically for her. She has been denied access to witnesses and found guilty by a jury – but not a jury of her peers. That would be impossible; her only peer is Queen Elizabeth I. This presents Elizabeth with a terrifying dilemma: to reign in fear for the rest of her life or to have her cousin and fellow queen executed.
