Acclaimed theatre maker and Queerstories creator, Maeve Marsden, makes her playwriting debut with Blessed Union, a hilarious lesbian divorce comedy hitting the Belvoir stage from 11th February until 11th March 2023.
A highlight of the 2023 Sydney WorldPride lineup, Blessed Union explores the end of love, when who you love is politicised, following a powerful lesbian couple trying to grapple with their commitment to activism in the face of heartbreak.
Ruth and Judith have been together for a long time. Long enough to have seen Australia change, for better and for worse. They have two bright and enquiring kids and a manageable mortgage in the Inner West. With love and hard work, they made the political personal and built a family of which they’re fiercely proud. They re-wrote the rules, and their life together is a progressive success story. Why should breaking up be any different?
But even the loftiest ideals can come undone when pesky human emotion gets involved.

REVIEW: Belvoir St Theatre's Sydney World Pride 2023 Offering, BLESSED UNION Shows That Relationship Breakdowns In The LGBTIQ+ Community Are Just As Messy As Anyone Else
February 22, 2023 Maeve Marsden’s (playwright) latest work BLESSED UNION captures the humanity of relationship breakdowns by putting a lesbian family on stage, reinforcing that the dissolution of a marriage is traumatic, regardless of how much the participants try to be better than the (hetero) norm.
