'I'm still a person outside of this room, you know. I still live life even when you're not watching me.'
Mary Page Marlowe is an accountant from Ohio. She's led an ordinary life, filled with pain, pleasure and drudgery, just like anybody else. But inside her seemingly unremarkable story is a nuanced portrait of the majesty of a modest existence.
A vivid, time-jumping mosaic of one woman's world, Tracy Letts' play Mary Page Marlowe presents a life out of order, coloured by emotion and full of contradictions.
It was first performed by Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Chicago, in 2016, and received its UK premiere at The Old Vic, London, in 2025, directed by Matthew Warchus and starring Andrea Riseborough and Susan Sarandon.
Tracy Letts is an American playwright, screenwriter and actor. His plays include Linda Vista, Bug, Killer Joe and August: Osage County, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the Tony and Critics' Circle Awards for Best Play.
