About the project:
MARIA is a modern take on the Mary myth. It is a triptych of ultimate questions: Birth – Love – Death. Set in a Port town similar to Cork, it explores loneliness and solitude in the 21st Century through the eyes of a young woman named Ria. The play interrogates human fragility and transformation.

We are using our CTC residency to look at the play through a ‘Cork lens’ with a view to production, while also grounding their collaborative relationship with Simon and the wider creative team.
