James VI: First and Last By Rona Munro Directed by Rufus Norris A monumental moment in Scottish theatre arrives with James VI: First and Last, the gripping, standalone climax to Rona Munro’s internationally acclaimed James Plays. This epic finale invites you into the mind of a flawed, tortured king navigating shifting loyalties and religious turmoil to unite two crowns. Munro's masterly script also platforms the vital women in James's life, explores the romance and tragic passion of his queer history, and uncovers hidden narratives of identity and desire that have shaped our modern world. In a landmark creative pairing, visionary director Rufus Norris breathes theatrical life into this story of the personal and public costs of royal power. Renowned for bold storytelling, Norris brings contemporary resonance and scale to Munro’s sharp, witty text, exploring historical events in a way that speaks to the moment we live in today. Whether you have followed the Stewart dynasty from the beginning or are stepping into the court for the first time, this exceptional production promises an unforgettable night of theatre. A Raw Material & Capital Theatre co-production in association with Aberdeen Performing Arts. Supported by: Creative Scotland Touring Fund Chris Grace Hartness
