THE STORY: It’s 950 AD (give or take a few years) and eight-year-old Mary has just lost her parents to a plague which has been turning everyone into foam. She’s kidnapped by a hermit, Abraham, who takes her to a monastery and vows to shield her from the world, with the help of his pious friend Ephraim. After years locked away in a cell-inside-a-cell, Mary escapes her heavily restricted life and runs away to an inn and a life of indulgence. But the innkeeper has plans for Mary’s future, and soon, she again finds herself trapped. Good thing Abraham vowed to do whatever it took to rescue her… A quirky, earthy, hilarious play about how everyone makes their own way to love and self-knowledge.
“Critics’ Pick! Mary Gets Hers bewitches the gaze...Spiky and adventurous...Mary is herself a multifaceted marvel of a heroine, metamorphosing before our eyes as if in a time-lapse video.” —The New York Times.
“Mary Gets Hers is wacky and winking, big on slapstick-and-clown-inspired physicality and, when it’s at its best, totally charming.” —New York Magazine.
