Iphigenia in Splott Playtext

by Gary Owen

‘What gets me through is knowing I took this pain, and saved all of you from suffering the same.’

Stumbling down Clifton Street at 11:30 a.m. drunk, Effie is the kind of girl you'd avoid eye contact with, silently passing judgement. We think we know her, but we don't know the half of it. Effie's life spirals through a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night,and a hangover worse than death the next day - till one night gives her the chance to be something more.

This powerful new adaptation of the enduring Greek myth drives home the high price people pay for society’s shortcomings.

Winner of Best New Play at the UK Theatre Awards 2015.
