CALVARIA:

A PLAY FOR FERAL GIRLS

By Maggie Smith

CALVARIA:
A Play for Feral Girls

When her family’s bull is found decapitated in the middle of a farm field, Edie Hruska makes it her mission to find the culprit. While on her search, she comes across a group of young girls claiming to communicate with gods, begging Edie to become their newest acolyte. While acclimating to their lifestyle, Edie finds herself face-to-face with the girls’ true intentions, and they are much more sinister than just a dead bull.

Calvaria was the winner of Babes With Blades Theatre Company's 2023-2024 Joining Sword & Pen Competition, where playwrights were asked to write a play inspired by Morgan Manasa's artwork, Cave Treasure. It will be developed over the next year with Babes With Blades, and will be a part of their 2025 Fighting Words Festival, where it will receive two public readings.

Calvaria was written to further explore human needs
and motivation as explained by Abraham Maslow in 1943, delving into the vulnerability of those lacking basic necessities, and the power those in want of nothing can hold over them.
