Synopsis

From the unique and critically acclaimed playwright, Liz Flahive, The Madrid tells the story of Martha, a kindergarten teacher with a life many would want: a loving husband, a devoted daughter.

The Madrid is a hilarious and heartbreaking story about motherhood, freedom, and trying to see the people in your family as they really are.
