Written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Letts, the play charts the life of its title character across 70 years in 11 scenes, portrayed by five actors. Sarandon and Riseborough will each take on the role at different stages of Mary’s life, with further casting to be announced.
First premiering at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in 2016, Mary Page Marlowe eschews linear biography in favour of a fragmented, time-hopping structure – forming a collage of a woman’s inner and outer life, with moments that are tragic, mundane, revelatory, and intensely human.
