Growing Pains
IN ASSOCIATION WITH SKELPIELIMMER PRODUCTIONS & THE PLAYHOUSE DERRY
Would you rather meet a man or a bird at a bus stop?
A girl is alone at night. But not for long.
An unflinching, hilarious new play about 2010s girlhood, cringe-worthy quests for love and the cyclical curse of womanhood. Growing Pains captures the chaos and contradictions of growing up: wanting to go ice-skating with your parents, whilst also wanting to go get drunk and fingered in some random field. Never in between.
Funny, feral, and full of girlhood fury it asks what we inherit, what we survive, and why the same stories keep happening again and again.
Developed with Tinderbox’s Incubate Programme and Fishamble’s New Play Clinic. Supported by An Grianán Theatre’s Acorn Bursary
