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. [BLANK] celebrates the 40th anniversary of Clean Break, the leading theatre company working with women affected by the criminal justice system.
A Donmar Warehouse and Clean Break co-production.
We want the Donmar to be welcoming to everyone. As part of this, we recognise that some audience members may appreciate additional guidance on the content of our plays. Click here for more information.
[BLANK] was first co-commissioned by Clean Break and the National Theatre.
This production and the associated Take the Stage programme is supported by Sir John Cass’s Foundation.
