         To Marie With Love

To Marie With Love

Synopsis:
the play is about the life of Marie Stopes. Notorious for forty years as a pioneer of birth control, agony aunt, sex therapist and world expert on coal! the trauma of her unconsummated first marriage prompted her most influential book 'married Love' which attacked sexual ignorance and put forward the idea of contraception for the first time in popular form. a woman of phenomenal energy and tremendous conviction, she was nevertheless monstrously egotistical and died out of touch with the reforms and achievements that her work had begun.
