Mara is the inventive reimaging of who?
——————————————————
This April, acclaimed theatre-maker Megan Jones and Machination Theatre Ensemble bring an emotionally resonant new work to the Theatre Works stage. An inventive reimagining of the Cinderella story, told from the perspective of the stepmother, here we meet Mara; a spirited, ambitious girl desperate to escape her prescribed destiny and transcend her mother’s fate.
While marriage to a wealthy widower seems to promise a new beginning, the fantasy unravels. Families won’t blend, her husband vanishes, and she is left caring for a stepdaughter who will never love her. Exploring the emotional terrain of blended families and the complex bonds between parents and children, Mara is set in a crumbling home haunted by broken promises.
