‘We were girls together’.
Naoise, Amelia and Sara have grown up together. They have always shared clothes, beds, lipliners, secrets.
But what happens when they start to grow in different directions?
When Naoise gets dumped the girls gather in her childhood bedroom, rallying together in her moment of need. But as the evening progresses, each of the girl’s places in each other’s lives are called into question. How do we support each other when we can barely support ourselves?
‘Need Help (No Worries if Not)’ is a new work exploring the experience of coming of age as a young woman in modern Ireland. In a generation of queerness, internet dating, polarisation, loneliness and heartbreak, navigating even the friendships you have had forever becomes a challenge.
