Men certain of my future

"Mary Queen of Scots" shows two Queens in a male-dominated world. They understand the problems of these women so well, because they work at the theatre itself in a man's world?
If I give you an answer, you must promise me to use the first part, which is important to me.

Promised.
So: I don't think I'm a crowned head. But I can remember well at the beginning of my career. As I sat often with the men at the table, who decided, without any woman about my future. Clearly this had an influence on everything I do: I sat in a room, where I saw myself nowhere represented. This has to do with politics, but it is just an animal feeling. And I can well imagine that the two Queens the also felt.

do you want to with Mary Stuart and Elizabeth I, something about the 21. Century tell?
of Course. I think we are at a point where it is absolutely necessary to think about what leadership means quality and how high is the price of Power. However, women must play a decisive role.

The king chose different strategies.
Yes, Mary tried to, so to speak, to combine child and career. Elizabeth turned in a man. Also there are examples in the Modern era, Margaret Thatcher was called the Iron Lady. And you know, as Elizabeth I is in the USA? The Iron Queen.

"Mary Queen of Scots" was known as the #MeToo Film.
I would be careful. Sexual abuse and the exercise of power there since forever, #MeToo is easy to become an important Instrument to denounce the. However, my Film is named, of all things, because of a scene so that the pure idea.

The whole population should be represented. Of course.Josie Rourke

The meeting of the two Queens?
Yeah, this Meeting has, of course, never took place. "This is total #MeToo that a woman invents something like that," I get to hear now. Bullshit. Friedrich Schiller has presented in his Drama, "Maria Stuart" in this scene. And that was over 200 years.

Apart from that: How historically accurate it is?
We have been trying to keep to the latest findings of the research. 've changed I actually. At the Royal courts, there were not so many dark-skinned and Asian people, as we are now seeing in the Film.

Why did you do that?
Everything in the Film is a visual summarization. We can't know how the people at that time would have looked like. Therefore, I have occupied you so, as I was staging it for my theatre also always do: colourful and diverse. The whole population should be represented. Of course.
