The Story of Mary MacLane By Herself

By Bojana Novakovic

25 November 2011 – 11 December 2011 Beckett Theatre

Adapted from the writings of Mary MacLane

Malthouse Theatre, Griffin Theatre Company, Merrigong Theatre Company, Ride On Theatre,

New Writing Theatre World Premiere Co-Production

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. Ride On Theatre's Bojana Novakovic and Tanya Goldberg bring Mary's writings to the stage in a bold, quirky monologue for two.

In 2012, the production toured to the Stables Theatre for the Griffin Theatre Company (4 April - 12 May), and the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre for the Merrigong Theatre Company (15-19 May).
