Details

On this day Maya finally opens the box that was left for her, after her mother's death. The box unlocks memories of the past and a journey of discovery for Maya. Helped by friends Dona and Charlie, we step into Maya's world as each item found in the box, helps to explore and question her choices in life about career, relationships, family, and culture. Will Maya be able to heal the fraught relationship she had with her mother? Will she find the self-love she needs to become the warrior she knows is inside her? Will she find any revelations? All performances as part of MTFestUK 2023 will be presented in an abridged workshop format, with scripts in hand.
