Bloody Mary: Live!
She's bloody. She's Mary. She's LIVE!
Teen Queen Mary Tudor takes to the mic to rehab her so-called 'bloody' image in a gleefully vicious stand-up special. Mary tackles the drama every #queenager deals with: divorced parents, sibling rivalry and religious purges (...oops).
Join Mary's court for a night of historical revisionism and bloody good comedy.
OffFest nominated and shortlisted for the Les Enfants Terribles Award, as well as named a top show to see by The Guardian for EdFringe 2022 and by The Evening Standard for VAULT Festival 2023, Bloody Mary: Live! is a smart, irreverent blend of stand-up comedy and a one-woman show written and performed by Olivia Miller.
'Olivia Miller dazzles in this tart and punky solo show' Guardian
'I refuse to be small' Mary says. And, by God, Miller is anything but’ 4 stars Broadway World
'Miller gives us a punky, spiky teen queen in waiting... This is unquestionably stand up but also an awesome feminist (if that were a thing in Tudor times) insight into a little slice of English history at the same time. Grab a beer, a handful of friends and hold on tight.' 4 stars The Wee Review
'Miller has created something completely unexpected. Challenging male narratives about one of history’s bloodiest figures, in this show, Miller gives Mary Tudor a second life and second chance.' 4 stars Broadway Baby
Produced by Part of the Main, a Pleasance London Associate Company 2022-2024.
