The Ballad of Maria Marten

April 2 @ 7:30 pm

$13

“It’s been a year since I died.” Thus begins Maria Marten’s story of her own abuse and murder in 1827. The notorious “Red Barn Murder” and public trial sent shockwaves throughout England and continues to capture the public imagination. While the story has all the hallmarks of a classic crime drama—a missing body, a country location, a village stuck in its conventional traditions—it is not just a murder story. Told from the victim’s perspective, this powerful production reveals who Maria Marten really was in an unexpectedly joyous story of women’s resilience, friendship, and reclamation.
