Mary’s Wedding by Stephen Massicotte
Intimacy Directed by: Matt Denney
Directed by: Susan Arnold
On the night before her wedding, Mary dreams of a thunderstorm in which she unexpectedly meets Charlie, sheltering in a barn beside his horse. With innocence and humor, the two discover a charming first love. But the year is 1914, and the world is collapsing into a brutal war. Mary’s Wedding is an epic, unforgettable story of love, hope, and survival.
"Puts you in mind of the grand passion of Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, the vastness of their love mirroring the wild tangle of nature. " —Washington Times
“McNeil and Dunham had never met until the first rehearsal. I was impressed by their tender scenes of physical intimacy. I was heartened to know that an Intimacy Director, Matt Denney, was used to help them have a safe space to create these scenes. I applaud Scoundrel & Scamp for being sensitive to the issues that intimate interactions can create for actors.”
— Annie Sadovsky Koepf
