Description

She can't stay awake. She sold drugs. She's good at interrogations. She drinks in the mornings. She ate a rabbit. She smashed up a shop. She stabbed a man. She used a hammer. She had a baby. She can't find her mother. She's covered in blood and doesn't know why. Alice Birch's heartbreaking new play reaches across society to explore the impact of the criminal justice system on women and their families.
