Theatre: Asking For It at the Abbey Theatre (Irish Sign Language interpreted performance)

A new stage adaptation of Louise O’Neill’s devastating novel, which shines an unflinching light on the experience of a young woman whose life is changed forever by a horrific act of violence.

One night in a small town in Co. Cork, where everyone knows everyone, things spiral terrifyingly out of control. What will happen now? – to Emma? To her family? To the others?

Adapted for the stage by Meadhbh McHugh, in a collaboration with Annabelle Comyn, who also directs, the play will have its world premiere as part of Cork Midsummer Festival in June 2018.

A Landmark Productions and Everyman co-production, presented and co-commissioned by the Abbey Theatre, funded through an Arts Council Open Call Award.

Age Guidance: 16+
