Mary’s Daughters

Kaya is so proud of her Mary’s Daughters run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025.

The production received multiple wonderful reviews, lots of lovely audience feedback, and was awarded Fringe Theatre Awards’ EFFTA Award.

Mary’s Daughters first premiered in London at The Space Theatre March 2024, and was performed again in September at the Newington Green Meeting House where Mary Wollstonecraft herself once stood.

About the Play:

Centuries after their deaths, a mother and her daughters reunite for the first time to come to terms with their wounds, their writing, and their reverberations through history…

Mary’s Daughters tells the story of Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th Century
intellectual radical, and mother of Western feminism, along with her two daughters:
the forgotten-by- history, illegitimate love-child Fanny Imlay, and the infinitely
more famous, author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley.
This feminist ghost story plunges the audience into a fluid, poetic, whirlwind tour
through the lives, legacies, and times of these three incredible women.
Shaped and misshapen by each other, they swap stories and memories, each
intercutting and challenging the narrative offered by another. We hear the tireless
writings of a genius out of her time, two sisters trying to reconcile the emotional
wounds only families can create, and the birth of an iconic monster on the shores of
lake Geneva.
This play, written by Kaya Bucholc, in collaboration with Will Wallace, is a rallying cry for a world that centres radical kindness above all things
