Imagine the most iconic mother of all time telling her private version of a story we thought we knew. Colm Tóibín's retelling of the pivotal events in the life of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Mary the survivor challenges us to imagine the suffering, courage and strength of mothers on a colossal scale -- up close and personal. Prepare to join a gifted playwright and performer in a one-of-a-kind solo journey that will leave you with new insight and questions, along with a deeper appreciation for human endurance in the context of mystery.

Imagine a devoted wife and mother who makes an unexpected journey to an unplanned exit with a famous door slam heard around the world. Ibsen's 1870s classic reshaped through a 1937 adaptation by American master Thornton Wilder takes audiences on a suspenseful ride to the edge of a gaping precipice of personal discovery that has a potential gain so great, that even a mother's love and a wife's duty can be swayed to sacrifice.
