Mary & George is inspired by the explosive true story of Mary Villiers, who moulds her beautiful and charismatic son, George, to seduce the King and achieve immense power.

From humble beginnings the pair rise to achieve riches, titles and huge influence on the English court through outrageous scheming and dangerous gameplay.

The stakes are incredibly high, with England's place on the world stage under threat from a Spanish invasion and rioters taking to the street to denounce the new king.

Prepared to stop at nothing and armed with ruthless political steel, Mary marries her way up the ranks, bribed politicians, colludes with criminals and claws her way into the hearts of the establishment, making it her own.

Mary & George is an audacious historical psychodrama about a treacherous mother and son who schemed, seduced and killed, in order to conquer the court of England and the bed of its King.
