Description
Asking for It by Louise O'Neill, Meadhbh McHugh and Annabelle Comyn A devastating stage adaptation of Louise O'Neill's novel, this play shines an unflinching light on the experience of a young woman whose life is changed forever by a horrific act of violence. The story takes place in a small town where everyone knows each other, but one night things spiral terrifyingly out of control. The play premiered at the Everyman, Cork, before transferring to the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, and was produced by Landmark Productions and the Everyman, in association with the Abbey Theatre. This unflinching examination of society's penchant for victim-blaming, its treatment of women, and the concept of rape culture is a genuinely heartbreaking and sickening portrayal. A powerful exploration of the impact of violence on individuals and communities, Asking for It is a truthful and thought-provoking work that will leave you thinking long after the curtain falls.
