Thirteen year old Mig's family head to Cranbury-on-Sea to visit ancient Aunt Maria, but as life deteriorates into domestic chores and crushingly dull tea parties they begin to suspect things are not what they seem, and to realise that Aunt Maria is not to be crossed... Who is the mysterious ghost buried in the mound, why are there wolves in the local woods, and what is the secret of the magic green box? As Aunt Maria wields her powers Mig alone must save Cranbury... Integrating dance, music and video in powerful storytelling brought to life by a talented team of professional dancers. Funny, scary and moving, Black Maria offers ideal family entertainment for half term week.
