Queen of the May follows 17 year old newly made Queen of the Scots, Elizabeth, who was forced to flee for her life with brother in-law Neil and stepdaughter Marjorie. The film is a story about powerlessness and survival rooted in a gritty, wild setting. The three of them go on a harrowing journey as they find themselves in a situation where they become stripped of their titles, safety and their identity that has carried them to where we find them.
ISLA
Playing age: 30-40 Years Old
Isla is what would be seen as a commoner and not quite the rebel healer Neil paints her as. She's deeply uncomfortable with the Christian society they live in, but hides this in fear of persecution, as she lives not far from a small village.

As a natural peacemaker, she has a gift for diffusing tension and bringing people together, often using wit and charm to bridge divides. Beneath her confident, nurturing exterior lies a subtle longing for romantic connection, which she carries with grace rather than melancholy. Her presence feels both grounding and uplifting, with an approachable energy that makes her a trusted guide to those in her community.
