Inis Nua Theatre to debut American premiere of ’10 Dates with Mad Mary’

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — 10 Dates with Mad Mary is a one-woman play that follows 25-year-old Mary on a journey of self-discovery while trying to find a date for her best friend’s wedding.

“She’s urban, sultry, spunky, snotty and capable of some really bad decisions,” says KC MacMillan, artistic director of Inis Nua Theatre.

Known as the top fighter in her hometown of Drogheda, Ireland, “Mad Mary” was recently released from prison for physical assault and is trying to reclaim her identity.

The play takes the audience on a journey as Mary recounts her recent experiences on the dating scene.

“I look forward to audiences laughing with me and their triumphs and failures,” says Anna Faye Lieberman, who plays Mary.

Inis Nua Theater’s mission is to bring contemporary plays from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales to American audiences.

Inis Nua is Gaelic for “new island”.

This will be the US premiere of the play and will take place at Fergie’s Pub in Center City, part of Inis Nua’s Pop-Up Play in a Pub series.

Admission includes a beer and savory cake to enjoy during the show.

10 Dates with Mad Mary runs from October 26th to November 6th.
