The Story of Mary MacLane by Herself

Promiscuous prophet or philandering fool? Mary MacLane is a woman you'd be mad not to meet.

15 May – 19 May

More than one hundred years ago, The Story of Mary MacLane set America aflame. A shocking confessional from a 19-year old girl who refused to succumb to the corset-bound prudery of her age, Mary's scandalous memoir broke all the rules - and sold over 100,000 copies.

Mary's writings come to the stage in a bold and magical monologue for two, backed with original music composed and performed by Tim Rogers, frontman of the popular Australian band You Am I.

From one of the most exciting companies on the independent theatre scene, The Story of Mary MacLane by Herself will whirl you through a kaleidoscopic tale of the greatest genius you've never heard of, defy you to look deep within, and dare you to dance with the devil.
