Beeston Tales - Mara With Dominic Kelly

MARA
 

It’s 1868. Discharged from the army with malaria, Morten scrapes a living on the edge of Sweden’s ancient forests.

Suddenly he begins to suffer nightmares and mysterious visits as he sleeps. A friend tells him he’s plagued by a Mara - a possessed person who visits another in spirit form. To free himself from the Mara, he must discover their identity. But who is it?

To find out, he begins to closely watch the world around him. But as he becomes aware of his neighbours’ lives and the life of the ancient forest, his own begins to transform…

Drawing deep from Scandanavian folklore, Dominic Kelly's MARA is a storytelling performance that will entertain, unsettle and move you.

TICKETS and DETAILS FOR THE LIVESTREAM:

If you're unable to join us in person, there's now an option for you to watch along from home. However, we're upfront that mobile reception at the venue is bad. (Our current set up involves three different mobile devices on separate networks, but even then we can not guarantee clear, reliable signal.) This is reflected in our reduced ticket prices for the online offering. Two kinds of tickets are available for online viewing, either select "Attend online - paying" which will set you back £5 per device, and an "Attend online - discount"... which is free. We know times are harder for some people than others right now, and we'd much rather have you with us than not.
 

So do come and join us. When you purchase the online ticket, you'll be sent the link. We'll fire out an email on the night of the performance as well, just to make sure you don't miss it. Please don't share these links around. The event will be brought to you by Zoom - It's not tricky. You'll want to download it in advance, which you can do by clicking the link to join ahead of the event.

Big thanks to Caron from PCM Creatives for making this livestream possible. Please note, your receipt will also contain Caron's contact details in case you have any trouble on the night.
