When she was little, she was so happy.
I know everyone says that. I do.
She can't stay awake.
She sold drugs.
She's good at interrogations.
She drinks in the mornings.
She ate a rabbit.
She smashed up a shop.
She stabbed a man.
She used a hammer.
She had a baby.
She can't find her mother.
She's covered in blood and doesn't know why.
Alice Birch’s heartbreaking new play reaches across society to explore the impact of the criminal justice system on women and their families.
From 100 unnamed scenes, this theatrical provocation challenges the director Maria Aberg to construct an entirely unique production.
A Donmar Warehouse and Clean Break co-production.
[BLANK] was first co-commissioned by Clean Break and the National Theatre.
[BLANK] is kindly supported by The Lovington Foundation.
