A Girl Is A Half-formed Thing
Synopsis
Winner of a Fringe First Award and the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award
This startling adaptation of Eimear McBride’s award-winning novel, A Girl is a Half-formed Thing follows the inner narrative of a girl from the womb to age twenty.
Told with vivid intensity and originality, this is a character of astonishing resilience and intelligence, someone determined to make sense of things amidst the deprivation of her Irish childhood. Rebellious and unrelenting with biting wit and brilliant spark, McBride writes with an urgency and honesty that is totally electric in performance.
Featuring award-winning actress Aoife Duffin (The Stage Acting Award, Edinburgh 2015), A Girl is a Half-formed Thing is a brave, moving and unforgettable theatrical experience.
Contains violent and sexually explicit material, including strong language. Recommended for ages 18+
