About the Play

A gathering to commemorate the 25th edition of Martha Fisher's celebrated book of poems brings her fractured family back home - all except Martha herself, who committed suicide soon after the book's original publication. Haunted by the past and events they can't explain, her family struggles to move forward. How can they reconcile the Martha who wrote so brilliantly about the joys of living and the hidden Martha who ended her own life? What Martha Did is a darkly funny drama about regret, facing the truth, and finding forgiveness.

(What Martha Did contains mature themes including references to suicide.)
