Mary Page Marlowe

The Old Vic today announces the UK premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning Tracy Letts’ play Mary Page Marlowe with Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking, Thelma & Louise) and Academy Award nominee Andrea Riseborough (To Leslie, Matilda the Musical) leading the cast in a production directed by Old Vic Artistic Director Matthew Warchus this autumn. This will be Susan Sarandon’s UK theatre debut and Andrea Riseborough’s return to the stage after 15 years.

90 minutes, 70 years, 11 scenes, 5 Marys and one extraordinary life: Mary Page Marlowe is a vivid, time-jumping mosaic of one woman’s life. Susan Sarandon and Andrea Riseborough will both play Mary at different ages, with further casting to be announced.

Mary Page Marlowe premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in 2016 and opened OffBroadway in 2018. This will mark the play’s UK premiere.

This will be the first production in Matthew Warchus’ final season as Artistic Director at The Old Vic. It is also announced today that all productions in this final season will take place completely in-the-round with the 200-year-old auditorium transformed to create a new seating configuration that will surround the stage.
