Ballad of Maria Marten Playtext
by Beth Flintoff
Summer, 1827. In a red barn in Suffolk, Maria Marten awaits her lover. A year later, hidden in a grain sack under the floor of the barn, Maria's body is found, barely identifiable - and the manhunt begins.
Ā The Red Barn Murder had all the hallmarks of a classic crime drama: a missing body, a country location, a disreputable squire and a village stuck in its age-old traditions. But whilst sending shockwaves throughout the country, Maria's own story was lost.
The Ballad of Maria MartenĀ rediscovers her story, bringing it back to vivid, urgent life.
Ā Beth Flintoff's thrilling play was first performed by an all-female cast in a production by Eastern Angles. Subsequent national tours were produced with Eastern Angles by Matthew Linley Creative Projects in association with the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
