About A Girl is a Half-formed Thing

Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, A Girl is a Half-formed Thing follows the inner narrative of a girl, played by Jenn Murray (Brooklyn, Maleficent, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), from birth until the age of twenty with vivid intensity and originality. This character navigates the crushing Catholicism and hardship of her Irish childhood with astonishing resilience and intelligence. Winner of numerous literary awards, Eimear McBride’s tale plunges us into the psyche of a girl with breathtaking fury and intimacy. Adapted for the stage by Annie Ryan for The Corn Exchange, A Girl is a Half-formed Thing premiered at the Dublin Theatre Festival 2014.

Thought-provoking, Riveting, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You want to see a powerful one woman show about a young girl growing up in Ireland under very hard conditions. Every movement had a meaning.

Don’t see it if You will be upset by rape, violence, child abuse, and death. However, the storytelling is exquisite and draws you in from the beginning.

Thought-provoking, Edgy, Dizzying, Confusing, Great acting

See it if you are looking to see a first rate performance by a gifted actor. The material is choppy, but she conveys EVERYTHING with emotional clarity

Don’t see it if you don't enjoy non-linear storytelling, poetic speech structure, or stories involving rape/incest. It is a difficult story to watch.

Relevant, Absorbing, Intense, Thought-provoking, Great acting

See it if you're interested in an unusual theatrical form where talented Jenn Murray portrays many characters describing events in complex language

Don’t see it if violence is an issue. Although the events are described as opposed to acted out, the play is graphic & horrifying. It's also hard to follow
