About the work

Beth Flintoff’s play retells the 1827 Red Barn Murder from Maria Marten’s perspective, restoring her voice to a story long dominated by the crime and its perpetrator. The drama explores gender, class, reputation and domestic abuse while following Maria’s life and the events that led to her death.
