MARY ROSE
a play by J.M. Barrie
directed by Tina Landau
with Betsy Aidem, Susan Blommaert, Ian Brennan, Michael Countryman, Keir
Dullea, Tom Riis Farrell,
Darren Goldstein, Paige Howard, Richard Short
The first major American revival of J.M. Barrie’s astonishing romantic drama - a lyrical, funny and stirring story of a girl who disappears only to return mysteriously with no memory of time passed, setting off a heartbreaking and thrilling story of love, loss, ghosts and the living, from the author of Peter Pan. First performed in 1920, this delicate and haunting play became a major obsession and inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock, and has not been seen in New York for more than 50 years.

"Vineyard Theatre's production of
Mary Rose, incandescently directed by Tina Landau, beautifully introduces J.M. Barrie to 21st century audiences. A top notch cast! Mary Rose's message is as essential as that of Thornton Wilder's
Our Town."
-Gwen Orel, Backstage
