People behind the production
The Testament of Mary is a gripping one-woman dramatic monologue based on Colm Tóibín's 2012 novella. The piece, originally commissioned for theatre and brought to life with music and sound design by Mel Mercier, has captivated audiences worldwide with its intimate, contemplative storytelling. Though widely toured in past years, the project has not announced a 2025 touring production; recent notable engagements were in 2017 across Australia, with earlier high-profile runs including Dublin Theatre Festival (2011), Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre (2013) starring Fiona Shaw, and performances at Barbican in London (2014). This performer page celebrates the work, its creator, and the impact of this dramatic solo on international stages.
