Mary Page Marlowe London Tickets – starring Susan Sarandon and Andrea Riseborough

BOOK NOW for this powerful play by Tracy Letts, directed by Matthew Warchus

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts’ hauntingly intimate portrait of a woman’s inner life arrives in London for the first time.

Mary Page Marlowe, a deeply human and time-shifting play, receives its UK premiere at The Old Vic, starring Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking, Thelma & Louise) and Oscar nominee Andrea Riseborough (To Leslie, Matilda the Musical) in the title role.

This unmissable new production marks Susan Sarandon’s UK stage debut and Andrea Riseborough’s long-awaited return to the theatre after 15 years, under the direction of Old Vic Artistic Director Matthew Warchus.

The auditorium is completely transformed into an immersive in-the-round configuration, offering audiences a fresh, 360-degree theatrical experience.

A life in fragments. A story in full.

90 minutes. 70 years. 11 scenes. 5 Marys.

Mary Page Marlowe is a bold, non-linear exploration of one woman’s life — a mosaic of moments stitched together with compassion, mystery, and devastating honesty. From troubled family dynamics and painful divorces to alcoholism and quiet resilience, Mary’s journey is told through a series of powerful vignettes that span her lifetime.

Both Sarandon and Riseborough portray Mary at different ages in this multi-actress portrayal, with further casting to be announced. The play premiered at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre in 2016 and made its Off-Broadway debut in 2018, earning acclaim for its innovative structure and emotional depth.
