Exciting NEWS!

The spectacular Ellyn Stern will play the role of Mary Dyer! Visit her website here and make sure to like her on Facebook!

A solo performance work that examines the life of Mary Dyer, the first colonial woman executed in the New World. She was hanged on June 1, 1660 because she was a Quaker. The play takes place during the last 90 minutes of her life as she reflects on her past,and grapples with the most fundamental and difficult questions humans ever ask themselves. A tour-de-force that takes place against the backdrop of the brutal practices of the Puritan Church/State government in early New England, the play is honest, graphic and uncompromising in its storytelling.

Contact me if you would like to host a reading of the work in-progress.
