About The Almighty Sometimes
Anna has been medicated for as long as she can remember. Her childhood was defined by pills and prescriptions. Now, at 18, she’s finally daring to ask: who am I without all that? Could she fall in love? Go to Uni? Write something brilliant? Could she even just… feel like herself?
As Anna searches for answers Renée, her mother, clings tightly to the calm they’ve fought so hard to keep. She can’t bear to watch her daughter spiral again and throw it all away on what feels like a dangerous experiment. But Anna’s choices are no longer hers to make.
The Almighty Sometimes by Kendall Feaver is funny, raw and heartbreakingly honest. A play about a mother and daughter locked in a battle over the most impossible question: how much risk is too much when it comes to the people you love?
Winner of the Judge's Award at the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and acclaimed around the world, this is one of the most powerful Australian plays of the last decade.
