POSSESSIONS: A Traveling Premiere opened in 2013 at Boston Playwrights' Theatre in Boston, MA USA and traveled to Sydney Australia in 2014.

​

​Two sisters: beautiful, smart, wealthy beyond imagination. The Kings of England and France sought their hands in marriage. The journey of their lives was all mapped out….

                                                                               

Then fate stepped in and everything changed.



In the seventeenth century, the beautiful Mancini sisters became notorious for abandoning their aristocratic husbands, dressing as men and travelling unchaperoned throughout Europe. In and out of chateaux, courts and convents, they lived scandalous lives. Even more shockingly, they attempted to salvage their tarnished reputations by writing and publishing their memoirs.

​

​POSSESSIONS weaves together the historical narrative of the Mancini sisters’ lives with contemporary texts and letters to create a poetic, evocative and thought-provoking piece of original theatre that explores how themes in the lives of these fearless and fascinating women resonate with women’s lives today.
