MARY ROSE
Currently available on BBC Sounds – JM Barrie’s haunting play about a girl who never grows up…
Written in the aftermath of WW1, Barrie’s play about loss & the mystery of life is by turns comic, eerie, & heartbreaking
8/10

@scotlit@mastodon.scot I saw an excellent version of this at Pitlochry Festival Theatre a few years ago and look forward to listening to it in a different format.
