BY HANNA PYLIOTIS
A fearlessly inventive retelling of the Cinderella story from the stepmother’s perspective.
Single mother of two Mara struggles to find work, before marrying a wealthy widower. Her new husband still grieves his first wife, buried beneath a cherry blossom tree in the garden – a tree whose branches tap relentlessly on Mara’s window at night.
tap. tap. tap…
As Mara’s dreams begin to unravel, a tragic chain of events is unleashed. Is this her Happy Ever After?
A dynamic work of contemporary storytelling, MARA gives humanity to this childhood bogeywoman, and explores the complexities of (step)motherhood, love, and female identity.
