Cast: 10f 2m (can be performed by 6f doubling)
Synopsis: Summer, 1827. In a red barn in Suffolk, Maria Marten awaits her lover. A year later, hidden in a grain sack under the floor of the barn, Maria's body is found, barely identifiable – and the manhunt begins.
Why it's great: Beth Flintoff's thrilling play – based on true events – rediscovers Maria Marten's lost story, restoring its dignity and bringing it back to vivid, urgent life. Originally performed by an all-female cast, it is an empowered historical play which urges change for the present and future.
Cast: 4f 2m doubling (large cast possible)
