Maren May: Why haven't you listened to that song I sent you?

Maren loves sending songs she likes to her friends and lovers but she is starting to think that maybe they don't always listen to them? So she wrote a show about that. 

This show is a love letter to music and everyday obsession, through a neurodivergent lens but you can view it through any kind of glasses, or none at all, it will still be enjoyable. 

If you ever listened to the same song on repeat for hours on end, and didn't even exaggerate when you say 'hours on end', this is for you.
