Mi Todo Productions presents

MARY JANE

Written by Amy Herzog

Directed by Rachel Chant

An AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

A remarkably powerful and compassionate portrait of a contemporary American woman striving for grace

As Mary Jane navigates both the mundane and the unfathomable realities of caring for Alex, her chronically ill young son, she finds herself building a community of women from many walks of life. Faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, Mary Jane relies on unflagging optimism and humour, along with the wisdom of the women around her, to take on each new day. But will inner strength and newfound friendships be enough to see her through? Captivating, affecting and compassionate, Mary Jane is the story of a single mother in an impossible family situation.

Nominated for 4 Tony Awards including Best Play, Rachel Chant (The Memory of Water, The Village Bike) directs Eloise Snape (McGuffin Park, The Humans, Colin From Accounts) and an incredible ensemble cast hot off the heels of its Broadway season.

★★★★★ “Both times I’ve seen this play, I’ve felt inspired—not by heroism but by everyday decency, empathy, competence and strength. In a world that often seems far from those values, Herzog’s play shines like a candle in the dark.” – Time Out | “The most profound and harrowing of Ms. Herzog’s many fine plays.” – The New York Times

Note: ticketing for Mainstage productions at the Old Fitz Theatre operate on a Dynamic Pricing model. This system means prices increase in line with audience demand (determined by capacity targets), and ensures we are able to provide cheaper tickets for a period whilst also making sure artists - who are often contracted on a profit share basis - get paid. In the interest of full transparency, the structure of the model can be viewed in full on our Welcome page. Concession tickets will never exceed $60.50, and previews and Cheap Tuesday’s will be capped at $38.50 and will not scale.
