PRODUCTION INFORMATION Commissioned by The Ark Based on the novel by Anna Carey Adapted by Anna Carey
The Ark presents a bold new adaption for children aged 8+ by author Anna Carey of her first historical novel, The Making of Mollie. In 1912 Dublin, 14-year-old Mollie Carberry’s life is pretty boring. That is, until she discovers that her older sister Phyllis is a secret suffragette! Mollie starts to realise just how unfair the world can be - and she wants to do something about it. When Mollie and her friend Nora get involved in the movement, they must face an important question: just how far should a girl go for her beliefs? This charming and witty new play invites you to step into a very different time and join Mollie as she begins her journey to find her place in the world.
