A new play at The New Theatre
IVY is a new play written and performed by Helen McGrath, directed by Esosa Ighodaro.
When home is lost, can it ever be forgotten?
Ivy has a new place, a new space. It’s not home. Home is now a collection of memories and dreams from which she cannot escape. In a pull between the real and the imagined, the past and the present, Ivy wraps herself in ritual, piecing together the meaning of home in flashes and
fragments. Navigating a path through a broken system, hope is found in the absurd in this dark, often physical exploration of a woman in hidden homelessness.
