MARY MARY

“Give me some stories I can live by, because these ones aren’t working.”

MARY MARY is a wild, tender, and physically thrilling multidisciplinary show that smashes the traditional archetypes of MARY the Mother and MARY Magdalene, two women created to serve female oppression. Balance must be restored; the feminine experience rebuilt. Mary’s vulnerability and power may pull us through… 

Through evocative dance theatre, rich religious iconography, provocative Latin text and anarchic humour, a group of unruly ‘Marys’ confront themes of grief, revenge, power systems and hope. 

This epic piece of feminist protest art invites you to consider what a society rooted in radical inclusion would look like, and how to build a more compassionate world. 

MARY MARY is co-commissioned by Harlow Playhouse and Sadler’s Wells and funded using public money from Arts Council England. 

Presented by Rhiannon Faith Company.
