Blessed are the hags and the harlots. For they shall be celebrated in this show.
Longlisted for the Bruntwood prize, this dark comedy follows a struggling actor trying to liberate herself and break through gender stereotypes by playing a punk Virgin Mary on stage.
In her bid to be bold, this lapsed Catholic questions the labels bestowed by religion and society. Not to mention her disapproving mother. But the pressure of playing Mary alongside her on-off boyfriend, who plays Joseph, takes its toll. Will speaking her truth lead to her redemption? Or will she fall into yet another large Pinot?
“A bold and innovative dark comedy” – The Bruntwood Prize
