"Mary Ball: A New Musical" is a fictionalized history of the life of Mary Ball, the last female victim of capital punishment in Coventry in the United Kingdom. It tells not just the story of the tragic Mary, but also of young Violet, a self-harming 17-year-old who is dealing with the divorce of her parents and a move to a new town, whilst desperately trying to work out who she is, and where she belongs in the modern world.
