Mary Gets Hers - ePublication
THE STORY: It’s 950 AD (give or take a few years) and eight-year-old Mary has just lost her parents to the plague. She’s rescued by a hermit, Abraham, who takes her to a monastery and vows to shield her from the world. Mary isn’t happy with her heavily restricted life, and at age twelve, she runs away to an inn in search of freedom—and love. But the innkeeper preys on her naivete, and Mary finds herself once again trapped. She asks the inn’s many guests for the love she craves until one visitor snaps her back into reality: Is this the love she’s been seeking? And if not, then how does she get it? 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.
