Set in England in 1877, Trouble Deaf Heaven is the story of Mary Amelia, a young woman employed as a domestic worker by a doctor and his wife. As Mary Amelia learns more about the family she works for, she uncovers dangerous medical practices and startling secrets. Things are not as they seem... but neither is our heroine. This piece depicts women in a struggle for autonomy over their bodies and their futures. This is a play about the truths we conceal and the parts of ourselves we choose to show the world. This is a play about cruelty, mercy, and redemption. This is a play about taking back your power at all costs.

    I couldn't put this play down! It feels so relevant for out times and it's a terrifying snapshot of the dangers we are facing with women's rights. As a therapist, I was so taken by the archetypal trajectory of the heroine. Bravo Michaelia!
