MARY ROSE
A PLAY IN THREE ACTS
.....
Alongside his novels, Barrie began to produce many works for the theatre. His first venture into the medium was a biography of Richard Savage which he co-wrote with H.B. Marriott. This was only performed once and was critically panned. However, his next theatrical work Ibsen's Ghost (or Toole Up-to-Date) (1891), a parody of Henrik Ibsen’s dramas Hedda Gabler and Ghosts, was much more favourably received. It was during his third play that he met his future wife, the young actress, Mary Ansell. The pair were married on 9th July 1894. Unfortunately, Mary had an affair which Barrie learned of in 1909 and the couple were divorced. They had no children together.
Barrie was very well connected in literary circles. One testament to this, was his role in founding an amateur cricket team that included members such as: Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, P. G. Wodehouse, Jerome K. Jerome, and G. K. Chesterton.
