The Colonial Theatre and NH Public Television invite you to enjoy the special 2 hour MASTERPIECE Premier of “Victoria”. In 1837, a diminutive, neglected teenager is crowned Queen Victoria, navigates the scandal, corruption, and political intrigues of the Court, and soon rises to become the most powerful woman in the world. Coming to MASTERPIECE in 2017, “Victoria” stars Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) as Queen Victoria in a highly anticipated series that follows the drama of the candid, spirited monarch who was perhaps the first woman to seem to have it all. Following Victoria from the time she becomes Queen through her passionate courtship and marriage to Prince Albert, the lavish premiere season of “Victoria” dramatizes the romance and reign of the girl behind the famous monarch. (Playing 2 PM – 4 PM)
Following “Victoria” we will air the PBS Season 2 Premier of “Mercy Street”. The second season of this 
Civil War-era drama continues to explore the growing chaos within Alexandria, as allegiances blur and loyalties shift. Season Two picks up directly from the dramatic events at the end of the Season One finale, continuing to explore the growing chaos within Alexandria, the complicated interpersonal dynamics of Dr. Foster, Nurse Mary and the Mansion House staff, the increasingly precarious position of the Green family and the changing predicament of the burgeoning black population. The season will introduce a number of new elements, taking us closer to the fight and into the halls of Confederate power, all set against the intensifying war, starting with the Seven Days’ Battle and culminating with Antietam. (Playing at 5 PM)
