IN MARGO'S WORLD, THE 'IMPERFECT' ARE RECYCLED. LITERALLY.
Margaret Verrall dreams of marrying the boy she loves and spending her life with him. But she’s part of the underground network of Believers – and that carries the death penalty. But before she can be unmasked as a Believer, she fails her Sorting and is reassigned as spare parts. Bane swears to rescue her before she can be dismantled, but a chance to take on the system ups the stakes beyond mere survival. Now she has to break out of the Facility—or face the worst punishment of all: Conscious Dismantlement.
Freshly adapted for the stage by acclaimed Catholic novelist and playwright, Fiorella de Maria, the first book in Corinna Turner's Carnegie Medal Nominated I AM MARGARET series is now a challenging 90 minute play full of adventure and suspense—and a touch of romance. If you’re looking for a production that delves into the real emotional cost of martyrdom and standing up for what you believe in, this is the play for you!
