Hi, Rocky and Seema! It's a good thing that I'm never in a position to hobnob with celebrities--that way, I can keep my illusions about them intact. I *am* glad I went to this show, though; it was quite enjoyable. I've always been interested in Elizabeth I; my knowledge of Mary is pretty sketchy. This play was hardly objective, but it raised interesting questions about the two of them.

Once at the Library of Congress, I saw a letter written in French by Eliz I to the King of France, assuring him that she would never harm Mary.
