What is Maryland on BBC Two about?
It’s not everyday that you meet someone with the same name.
Let alone someone with the same name, who’s experienced the same trauma as you!
Maryland follows two women, both called Mary, who meet in a police station after reporting a sexual assault.
The short film tells the story of the aftermath of their experiences – including the anger that follows.
Writer Lucy Kirkwood wrote it in response to recent real-life events, in a post #MeToo era.
She told the BBC that the original play was in response to “the recent deaths of women including Sarah Everard, Bibaa Henry, Nicole Smallman, and Sabina Nessa”.
