MARA
by Dominic Kelly. Directed by Kersti Ståbi
Saturday 30th September 2023

Our old friend Dominic brought his latest show in September 2023.

It’s 1868. Morten is a discharged soldier scraping a living on his croft on the edge of Sweden’s ancient forests. His life is blighted by insomnia and filled with troubles made up largely in his own head.

Suddenly he begins to suffer nightmares. A friend tells him he’s plagued by a Mara - a possessed person who visits another in spirit form as they sleep. To free himself from a Mara, he must discover their identity.
