BAFTA award winning Danish actress Sofie Gråbøl joined the ensemble cast of 20 to star as Queen Margaret of Denmark, the wife of James III in her first stage role in English.

James I, II and III are three new plays about the 15th century Scottish Kings by acclaimed playwright Rona Munro. They debuted at last years Edinburgh International Festival before transferring to London’s National Theatre. Critics were full of praise for Sofie’s performance.

Henry Hutchings said in The Telegraph, “she lit up the final part of the trilogy… with a commanding and witty portrayal of the King’s wife.”

Sofie signed my sketch at the BFI in London where she took part in a Q&A after the screening of the first episode of British TV series Fortitude.
