A 19th century feminist fairytale writer accidentally summons a ghost. The spirit is the highly-offended mother of the lover the writer spurned years before. The opposing worlds of free spirits and corsets collide...

Claire Parker’s new play shines a light on Mary De Morgan, a writer, a woman of independent means, a socialist and an activist. Mary wrote several volumes of fairy tales, tearing up the rule book on expected outcomes for boys, girls and happy ever afters.

She grew up amongst artists and activists in a circle of free-thinking Pre-Raphaelites and was well acquainted with the families of William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Rudyard Kipling and the Rossettis and would frequently read her stories to their children.
