What’s in a name?
Revered, despised, forgotten – the past is packed with remarkable Marys. From biblical times to the present day, across cultures and continents, Mariams and Marias have been the focus of news reports, gossip columns, storybooks and holy tracts.
Who wouldn’t love the chance to talk fashion with Mary Quant, politics with Mary Robinson or childcare with Mary Poppins?
“This interactive plunge into history, rediscovers many of these uncommon women with a common name. Through story, song – and a public vote – the audience is invited to choose their own guests at our fantasy dinner party.”
