Butler's Marsh
by Robert Chafe
Presented by Fairy Ring Theatre
Butler’s Marsh; a mysterious bog said to inhabit fairies by the locals of Bell Island. 20 years prior, Nora’s mother disappeared on this marsh, appearing three days later covered in blood. Now, Nora is determined to uncover the truth. As she traverses the marsh, answers let loose, and Nora’s view of her beloved home changes forever.
Butler’s Marsh is a folk-horror play that showcases the unique folklore and traditions of Newfoundland, revealing the consequences of burying the truth in a fairytale.
