Real Love

    In Real Love, Mara creates an over-the-top world filled with hijinks comedy reminiscent of the guilty pleasure laugh track sitcoms we all love. This play will leave you in stitches. While the play is raunchy and beautifully strange—sex dolls literally come to life—Mara is able to find the heart in it all while exploring themes of love, friendship, loneliness, and yearning.
