      Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine A British production which is an excellent companion piece to Mary of Scotland. Between the two of them, you'll have a neat chunk of history. Nine Days a Queen is on the whole more satisfactory entertainment. May 5, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Beautifully acted by Nova Pilbeam. Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member in her time, nova pilbeam was britain's ellen page. she is still revealed as an intelligent young actor in british films. very little of her work is out there for us to see. but what is there should be consumed. 'tudor rose' is not as lurid as 'lady jane' but the story is still the same. and pilbeam's multi-layered performance provides a great deal of its depth. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
