Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Aoife Duffin.

The stigma of certain actions undertaken when young never truly leave you, certain deeds done against you are always apt to bark in the dark and the misery or the grief reaped is enough to send you spiralling if there is nothing to stay your hand or guide you away from the water’s edge. In a time when particular individuals in Ireland could almost get away with anything because of who they were and what they represented, Eimear McBride’s A Girl Is A Half Formed Thing is a play of terrifying beauty and compassion.
