Stumbling down Clifton Street at 11:30 a.m. drunk, Effie is the kind of girl you'd avoid eye contact with, silently passing judgement. We think we know her, but we don't know the half of it. Effie's life spirals through a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day - till one night gives her the chance to be something more.


This powerful new adaptation of the enduring Greek myth drives home the high price people pay for society's shortcomings.

Winner of Best New Play at the UK Theatre Awards 2015.

– The Age -

“Clarke handles the grungy poetry and adrenalin-fuelled narrative with magnetic presence and remorseless stamina...” 1/2 
– The Age -

“Jessica Clarke gives us a brilliant performance, by turns precise, whimsical, childlike, shocking, and moving.”

– Stage Whispers -

“Clarke is triumphant every step along the way. Just how she manages to pull together such an uncompromising performance you simply must see... Extraordinary.”
