The Dolldrums

Lily Burke will do anything to be a real girl. Even if it kills her.

After a decade living stealth, Lily is murdered by her long-suppressed subconscious, Lilith. Trapped in the purgatorial Dolldrums, she reflects on a life shaped by sex, lies, and self-sacrifice.

The Dolldrums is a modern parable about the truths we deny and the perceptions we embrace. No matter how far we run from ourselves, we can never escape who we truly are.

A New Play by Liath Hannon, star of hit Irish Film Girls and Boys.
