Femme Fatale Faerytales Presents Mary, Mary

Add to your event list

Mary, Mary quite contrary.
Wouldn’t you like to know how her garden grows?

Step into the fairytale world of Femme Fatale Faerytales as Sasha Elizabeth Parker unveils Mary, Mary — a dark, lyrical, feminist re-telling of an age-old classic.

Part confession, part ritual, part bedtime story for grown-ups, Mary, Mary invites you to meet the woman behind the nursery rhyme — in all her wild, untamed, contrary glory.

Expect:
- enchanting storytelling
- poetic prophecy
- a subversive twist on the tales you thought you knew
- an intimate, atmospheric evening in one of York’s cult favourite haunts

Praise for Femme Fatale Faerytales:
“Captivating storytelling with a feminist agenda” — Grand Opera House York
“Lyrical and stylist” — The Wizard
“A poetic bedtime story” — The Witch

A homecoming. A haunting. A holy rebellion.
Join us for the very first Femme Fatale Faerytales telling of Mary, Mary.
