The works explore themes of love, betrayal, and power within historical contexts, specifically focusing on characters entangled in the political and romantic intrigues of their time. The opening play, "Mary Tudor," introduces a tumultuous political climate, presenting the Queen and her favorite, Fabiano Fabiani, against a backdrop of conspiracy and betrayal surrounding her reign. At the start of "Mary Tudor," we see the tension between the nobles and the Queen's Italian favorite, Fabiani. The lords are concerned about the Queen's infatuation with Fabiani, as they discuss the executions that occur frequently at Tyburn, pointing to widespread discontent and the precarious nature of favor in the royal court. Meanwhile, characters Gilbert, a humble engraver, and Jane, a young woman raised by Gilbert, are introduced, setting the stage for a love triangle fueled by deception and ambition. As the plot thickens, jealousy and political intrigue take center stage, leading to drastic decisions and the promise of revenge, suggesting that personal stakes intertwine deeply with the broader historical narrative.
