What is Mary Page Marlowe about?
90 minutes. 70 years. 11 scenes. 5 Marys. 1 extraordinary life.
This bold, time-shifting drama unravels the life of one woman through a series of intimate, non-linear scenes – each revealing a different chapter in her journey. As we watch Mary enter various stages of her life, we experience the heartbreak, hope, and quiet strength that define her story.
With emotional depth and a unique theatrical structure, Mary Page Marlowe invites you to reflect on the choices that shape us and the mysteries we all carry. It’s a powerful, thought-provoking experience that lingers long after the curtain falls.
