The Ballad Of Maria Marten

Tragedy, girlhood, betrayal and love are entangled into this beautiful but brutal story by Beth Flintoff.

Heard of the Victorian Red Barn murder? This is the retelling from the perspective of the women at its heart, performed by an all-female cast. In the hysteria of this gruesome true crime, Maria’s own story was lost, until now. This play re-examines the life of Maria Marten, capturing the events leading to her untimely death. This play presents the story through the eyes of Maria, explaining the truth of this hideous attack. Don't miss this feminist take on the classic true story.

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books, presented by Stagedoor Learning.
