A Girl is a Half Formed Thing

“A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing” is a play adapted from Eimear McBride’s novel of the same name, exploring the inner life of a young woman through a monologue from birth to the age of twenty. The play depicts a character’s journey through childhood hardships, including illness, religious bigotry, abuse, and the complexities of love and grief, all within a chaotic and claustrophobic narrative style. 

DoMaur Productions partnered with MADLight Theatre and the amazing talents of Anette Victoria Barker to bring this work to life.  This production toured Tasmania in July 2021.
