About the event
Performances scheduled for July 2026.
Enter the challenging world of Sarah Daniels’ groundbreaking play, Ripen Our Darkness. First staged in 1981, this compelling work follows Mary, who everyone assumes is stark raving mad - the dinner’s never ready on time, the shirts need to be sorted, the dirty dishes are piling up…and sometimes…she’s even late to church! Her poor husband, however does he cope?
This dark, feminist, comedy explores the mental toll the patriarchy has on women within the institutions of marriage, religion, and psychiatry through a series of couples of different ages, sexualities, and classes in the 1980s.
New Stagers are proud to be staging Ripen Our Darkness in July 2026! Audition dates and times are to be confirmed, so keep an eye on this page for updates. If you are interested in auditioning, please contact us for more information and to register your interest.
