Mamaí Theatre Company closes its critically-acclaimed second season with
the regional premiere of Irish playwright Marina Carr's WOMAN AND SCARECROW.

In a play critics describe as “brilliant” and “imaginative,” a dying woman
is visited by a figure called ‘Scarecrow,’ an enigmatic character that
might be her alter ego, or a morphine-induced hallucination, or the very
thing keeping death at bay.  This Irish journey of magical realism,
mythology, and transformation features Co-Founders Bernadette Clemens and
Derdriu Ring.

Director Pandora Robertson says *Woman and Scarecrow* inspires her. "It
gets at the humanity and heart of what can make us great: our vitality,
grit, and sheer will power to hang on and value life despite its hardships
and disappointments. We are able to find gratitude, forgiveness and love
for each other and ourselves no matter how ridiculous and tragically flawed
we are. Even in the jaws of death, Woman and Scarecrow eek out the poetry
and humor from every last bittersweet moment. They never stop trying to get
their story right. As Woman says, 'Now that’s what I call a passion for
living'.”
