Friedrich Schiller published Maria Stuart in 1801, and Peter
Oswald has written an English-language “version” that premiered in 2005.
Oswald’s fluid, wryly funny script is the one on view at Chicago
Shakespeare. It’s a hell of a yarn even if you’re being historically
accurate, and Schiller/Oswald aren’t.
