Call Me Sister

The Hyperion Players is a new community theatre serving eastern Hamilton County. Hyperion's pilot season ends with its first original script, the historical drama Call Me Sister. 

It’s Christmas 1550 when the young king Edward VI welcomes his half-sisters, Lady Elizabeth and Lady Mary – the latter, daughter of a Catholic – back into his Protestant court. The evening sours when Mary confronts the king’s adviser for harassing her younger sister, resulting in their removal from the line of succession. After the king dies, Mary vies for her God-given right to the throne and to restore the nation’s ties with Rome. But Elizabeth, a Protestant sympathizer, has ambitions of her own, and refuses to stay silent as “Bloody Mary” earns her moniker.
