What Happened to Mary-Anne? is the story of Mary-Anne and her insatiable adoration for the power of rock. It is electric! It is dramatic! It is loud and sometimes obnoxious and everything you want at a rock and roll concert AND MORE!!!
What Happened to Mary-Anne? features the musical stylings from rock and roll legends throughout history such as Iron Maiden and Tina Turner! Audiences will be welcomed to come and fulfil their rock star fantasy as they get caught in Mary-Anne's web.
Mary-Anne has a lot on her plate. She is the youngest of 8 adult siblings, a night nurse, caretaker of her bedridden father and a god-fearing trans woman. Her ultra-conservative siblings tolerate her because she runs around for the family, babysits the children, tends to her father’s every need and never complains. However, the family are in for a surprise when they find out that Mary-Anne rocks out to Led Zeppelin at night, belting secular music while her ailing father sleeps. They’ll be even more stunned when they find out she sings at the Pig Bucket every night. But they’ll never forgive her when they find out she’s been dragging their father to a dirty dive bar at night to do so…
Watch as Mary-Anne slowly unravels her truth about how she lost herself only to find herself once again.
