About this episode
When reading classic literature or watching Shakespeare plays, Erin Shields often finds herself drawn to the supporting characters we don’t hear much from — especially the women. In her new play Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, the Governor General’s Award-winning playwright considers what happens when four women who witnessed miracles are finally allowed to speak. She joins Tom Power in the Q studio to talk about the ridiculous amount of Marys in the Bible, and why she’s interested in expanding existing literature with a feminist twist.
