Columbia University School of the Arts will present Camille Z. Hayes' '21 production of For Molly.
For Molly explores the extraordinary four-decade relationship between the poet Mary Oliver and the photographer Molly Malone Cook. Between the East Village and Provincetown, through memories and photographs, the piece offers a portrait of Mary and Molly's romance. The narrative is brought to life in the blurred lines between dream and reality.
This project explores the following questions: Who gets to tell your love story? What are the ritualistic elements of intimacy? The production tells its own version of a true love story, not just of the artist and her muse, but artist to artist and muse to muse; two partners who couldn't be more different but whose drive and passion for their work built a shared sensibility that lasted over forty years.
The cast includes Carolyn Rose Friedman, Stephanie Litchfield, Kathleen O'Neal, Kanika Asavari Vaish, and Maya T. Weed.
