Summary |
"A young woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child in Lorca's classic tragedy about honour, family and female empowerment. Set in contemporary London, Piper's portrayal of a woman in her thirties desperate to conceive builds with elemental force to a staggering, shocking, climax. The theatre phenomenon sold out at the Young Vic and critics called it 'an extraordinary theatrical triumph' (The Times) and 'stunning, searing, unmissable' (Mail on Sunday). Billie Piper's lead performance was described as 'spellbinding' (The Evening Standard), 'astonishing' (iNews) and 'devastatingly powerful' (The Daily Telegraph). Billie Piper won an Evening Standard Best Actress award for her performance in Simon Stone's radical production of Lorca's achingly powerful masterpiece"--Bloomsbury Drama Online |
