Continuing in the spirit of their training, their company has created twenty-eight original comedies, including the internationally acclimed, The Anger in Ernest & Ernestine (1987); The Attic, the Pearls and 3 Fine Girls (1995), for which she received a Dora Mavor Moore award for her performance; and The Betrayal, which received a 1999 Chalmers Award for Best New Play. As well as performing, Martha has written several plays, including, Dr. Dapertutto (nominated for the Floyd S.Chalmers Best New Play award in 1990); Ratbag, a musical about the Industrial Revolution, which she wrote with John Millard; The Dog and the Angel for the Caravan Farm Theatre Co.

She is currently writing a one woman show, On the Lam, about a woman who goes into hiding after killing her neighbour, whom she catches stealing her familyÕs water supply. The woman reflects on love, death, scarcity and her obsession with Samuel ColeridgeÕs epic poem, ÒThe Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Ó Read More Read Less
