Theatre play by Pasquale M Palmieri.
Incipit
Set in contemporary Melbourne, Benjamin
Mary is the tale of a couple in three phases of their relationship:
at 25, just married and in love, dreaming of a life together;
at 50, the apex of continuous ego confrontations,
at 75, both resigned to the unfolding of their story.
Alternating between humour and sadness, Benjamin Mary dares to expose a couple’s relationship as it transforms throughout
the years.
