Inspired by Benjamin Woolley’s non-fiction book The King’s Assassin, MARY AND GEORGE is the 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.

Mary Villiers, a woman of humble beginnings and formidable ambition, moulds her second son, George, to seduce King James VI of Scotland and I of England and become his all-powerful lover.
