Gaia:"Rona Munro's vividly imagined trilogy brings to life three generations of Stewart Kings who ruled Scotland in the tumultuous fifteenth century. James I: The Key Will Keep the Lock explores the complex character of the colourful Stewart King - poet, lover and law-maker. James II: Day of the Innocents depicts a violent royal playground from the perspective of the child King and his contemporaries, in a terrifying arena of sharp teeth and long knives. James III: The True Mirror, like the King himself, is colourful and unpredictable, turning its attention to the women at the heart of the royal court. Each play stands alone as a unique vision of a country tussling with its past and future; viewed together the trilogy creates a complex and compelling narrative on Scottish culture and nationhood."--Page 4 of cover.
