Description

Marin Theatre’s 2024/25 season launches with the U.S. premiere of the critically acclaimed noir mystery-meets-folk tale "Yaga", by award-winning Canadian playwright Kat Sandler. Hailed by The Globe and Mail as “Delightfully devious. Sandler has triumphantly reclaimed the evil woman myth. Move over, 'Wicked' and 'Maleficent,' and welcome 'Yaga' to the sisterhood,” "Yaga" follows a big-city private eye who finds himself in a small, isolated town wondering what the disappearance of a yogurt empire heir has to do with random lore about an old witch. He joins forces with a local police officer, to zero in on a cast of curious characters including a sexy, whip-smart forensic bone expert whose shadowy past includes her healthy appetite for young men. What begins as a classic whodunit veers into the supernatural as the mythic Baba Yaga, rumored to keep a magic hut in the woods where she grinds the bones of the wicked, is revealed as a character in this crime tale. Noted theatre director Barbara Damashek and the multi-Tony Award-nominated Broadway production of "Quilters," directs this dark comedy.
