    The Ballad Of Maria Marten

    Play by Beth Flintoff
    Directed by Luke Kernaghan
    By arrangement with Nick Hern Books

    This theatre production is a collaboration between the following courses at Arts University Bournemouth:

    BA (Hons): Acting, Performance Design and Film Costume, Costume, and Make Up for Media and Performance

    The Ballad Of Maria Marten is a revisionist retelling of a harrowing true crime in 1827, which sheds light on a complex tale of love, loss, prejudice, and patriarchal power.

    Despite the fact that this is a true crime dram, this is also very much a story of female friendship and joy, and one that sadly resonates strongly today.

    This show is recommended for people aged 12 and over.

    Tickets: Full £13.20, Concessions £4 (Student, child, senior, disability and low income; you may be asked for proof of eligibility); Available online.
