Warsaw SELECT Theatre Presents: THE BALLAD OF MARIA MARTEN
SYNOPSIS:
It’s been a year since I died, and still nobody has found me”
A thrilling retelling of Suffolk’s real-life murder mystery…
Summer, 1827. In a red barn Maria Marten awaits her lover. A year later her body is found under the floor of the barn in a grain sack, barely identifiable, and the manhunt begins.
Maria’s story sent shock waves throughout the country. The Red Barn Murder (as it became known) was national news, inspiring writers and filmmakers down the ages. The sort of gruesome tale that 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 in all this hysteria Maria’s own story was lost - until now.
With this new take on a classic story, the play re-examines the life of Maria Marten and the events that led up to her murder.
