They join the previously announced Jonathan Christie (Arthur Maynwaring), Michael Fenton Stevens (Dr. John Radcliffe), James Garnon (Robert Harley), Richard Hope (Sidney Godolphin), Hywel Morgan (Prince George), Beth Park (Abigail Hill), and Carl Prekopp (Daniel Defoe).

The play explores the life of one of England’s little-known sovereigns and her intimate friendship with her childhood confidante Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. The reign of Queen Anne saw the rise of the free press as well as the Act of Union between England and Scotland.

TRH Productions, Scott Landis, Tulchin Bartner Productions, and Zeilinger Productions present the Royal Shakespeare Company Production of Queen Anne.

Tickets are now on general sale at RSCQueenAnne.com.
