Marcellas Minute to Midnight written and performed by Mary Lincoln

directed by Samuel Ripman produced by MTM productions

Marcella’s awakening happens in her mid-sixties when a botched eBay order forces her into the loft and prompts the de-cluttering of a lifetime.

Faced with artefacts that provoke a host of vivid memories, Marcella embarks on an unpredictable and unexpected journey through her past. Choosing what to hold on to and what to let go of, brings her close to a full-blown late life crisis.

But surrounded by seemingly discarded objects and aspirations, Marcella begins to feel strangely alert, and starts to wonder if she is still allowed a dream or two…

"you start out starring in the story of your own life, only to find you’ve become a bit part player in everyone else’s."

Mary Lincoln’s career as a performer has spanned theatre, music theatre, television drama, improvisation and film. In her new one woman show she delves beneath the experiences of a professional actress and mother, to find reflection, humour, and a desire to revive the creative spark in all of us.
