“Joanna has always struggled with setting boundaries. Maybe that’s why when her best friend offers to find her a boyfriend, she just goes along with it. Or not a boyfriend, they haven’t discussed that. Wait, what have they discussed? Finding her place in a world that wants girls to be seen and not heard, will she be able to raise her voice?” A story about love and domestic violence, and how they affect women in contemporary times, head this way for more info.

Glass Splinters | Pleasance Theatre | 26 Mar
