Marrow
Resounding Scream Theatre/Alley Theatre

In the aftermath of her eating disorder, Maura reconnects with Morgan. Morgan, a high-achieving academic, has been distant for years - and Maura wants to know why. As they delve into their conflicted past, their reality blurs with the world of Morgan's research. Marrow weaves words and images from witchcraft trials with a family's shared psychic turbulence, exploring the grey area between self-destruction and self-determination.
