New Writing and Emerging Director - Premiere

A new play by Anna Jordan

Cath and David have lost a child. Allie has lost a best friend. And Ash has gained a heart. Marianne follows the paths of four people, whose worlds have been changed beyond recognition by one event. Marianne is a play about grief and love, about youth and age, about life standing still and life moving on, about being alive and being dead.

Without a Paddle Theatre presents this dark, poignant and often funny play, which explores the person-shaped hole that is left in your life when somebody dies.

In 2009 Anna won Best New Writing at the Lost One Act Festival, and the Panel Award and Audience Award for Best Play at the Off Cut Festival (Old Red Lion). Marianne was shortlisted for the Bruntwood Royal Exchange Prize in 2008.
