I’m A Victim of My Generation (The Resurrection of Mary MacLane) at The Divine

This two-hander is a darkly comic, meta-theatrical exploration of intimacy and the occult in the age of algorithms . It follows a podcaster-turned-witch and a queer academic obsessed with Mary MacLane, the radical early feminist who once declared her desire to marry the Devil. Through ritual, satire, and digital-age confession, the play interrogates how we curate identity and seek connection in a world of endless performance.

It’s All Hallows’ Eve, and Rachel, a podcaster and self-proclaimed witch, is about to record her spookiest episode yet—one she hopes will turn her show, Love, Lust, and Lilith, into a real-life audio sensation. For this special episode, her guest is Jeremy, a queer scholar and expert on the "real" Mary MacLane: the writer who scandalized the early 1900s with her unapologetic devotions. Together, they embark on a ritual that’s part séance and part emotional exorcism, attempting to resurrect Mary’s spirit. The question is: what happens if Mary brings a date? Her Prince Charming, her knight in shining armour... Satan himself.
