Great Britain is at war with France over the Spanish inheritance. Meanwhile, fierce battles are unfolding in the arena of the English court. Three women are fighting for the heart of a charming young officer, one of whom is none other than the Queen of England herself. The powerful and cunning Duchess of Marlborough, Abigail, the officer's lover Masham, and Queen Anne stoke the flames of passion to such an extent that everything is thrown into this fire - money, power, honor, friendship. To prevent the hellish fire from scorching the reputation of the crown, as well as the fates of thousands of subjects, the cunning Lord Bolingbroke decided to take control of the situation. This rogue and philosopher masterfully plays his game, skillfully unraveling all the court intrigues. A glass of water is merely a symbolic sign used by the characters. But in the play, everything is mixed in - a convoluted plot, a wonderful ensemble of actors, interesting scenography, and captivating action. In the end, it results in a simply stunning cocktail.
