It’s the 10th century! A plague rages on in Germany! Everyone is turning into foam! When two overzealous hermits find an abandoned orphan named Mary, they scheme a saintly rescue mission to protect her purity at any and all costs. Mary, however, has other plans for herself, in this new play inspired by Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim’s closet drama-comedy Abraham, or the Rise and Repentance of Mary.

The cast should be made up of 5 female, nonbinary, trans, and/or gender nonconforming actors. Do not cast this play with all white actors: the middle ages were not a monolith!
A monastery. An inn. 950, give or take.
