Powerful & Gripping Drama
Patricia Routledge stars in
Crown Matrimonial
By Royce Ryton Directed by David Grindley
starring Patricia Routledge as Queen Mary
Crown Matrimonial is a gripping drama, focusing on the crisis which faced the nation when Edward VIII declares his deep love for Wallis Simpson. Unswayed by the prospect of public scandal, family upheaval and even abdication, he is insistent that he will marry the woman he loves.
The king's determination to marry a divorced woman brings about the first great crisis of the monarchy in the 20th Century prefiguring the facinating events portrayed in the recent award-winning film The Queen.
How did Queen Mary react to events as they unfolded? Did the monarchy learn from Edward's abdication?
Directed by Brighton-born David Grindley whose West End and Broadway credits include Journeys End, National Anthems (with Kevin Spacey), Some Girl(s) (with David Schwimmer) and Abigail's Party.
