The Ballad of Maria Marten

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. First performed by an all-female cast, Beth Flintoff's thrilling play rediscovers Maria's story, bringing it back to vivid, urgent life.
