Readers appreciate the unique approach to the Chorus in the play, noting its complexity and the challenges it presents for performers. Many find the blend of Scottish cultural elements with religious themes intriguing, but some point out the initial difficulty in distinguishing characters due to the repetitive use of names.

Synopsis

”Whom shall I believe?

And who shall be judge?’” The nation that receives Mary, Queen of Scots has just outlawed her church and its practices.

Its leader is the radical cleric and protestant reformer, John Knox.

Both believe themselves ordained by God.

Both believe themselves beloved by their people.

Both were exiled and returned home… but only one can make Scotland their own.

Linda McLean's Glory on Earth premiered at the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in May 2017, in a production directed by Lyceum Artistic Director David Greig.
