“Mary Jane” by Amy Herzog

REGIONAL PREMIERE

May 1-24 at the Dairy Arts Center

“The play has a hypnotic suffusive effect that left me on the verge of tears for hours afterwards…it conjures a world of compassion.”

— The Guardian

About the Play

A single mom’s life is turned upside down by her child’s chronic illness. Abandoned by her husband, she faces reality with a sunny determination that borders on denial. A story of a mother’s unbounded love and the makeshift circle of women who support her, Mary Jane is a beautiful testament to endurance and human kindness in the face of tragedy.

The New York Times calls Mary Jane “the most profound and harrowing of all Amy Herzog plays…a character study and everywoman story.”
