Lie Low

I was broken into a year ago and I was struggling for a bit afterwards. I'm fine now though. In the wake of a home invasion, Faye can't sleep. She's fine though. All she's had to eat this week is a box of dry Rice Krispies. She's fine though, really - she is. Desperate to shake her insomnia, Faye enlists the help of her brother, Naoise, to try a form of exposure therapy. But Naoise has a devastating secret that's about to come to light. Lie Low is a dark new play from writer Ciara Elizabeth Smyth about fear, trauma and family, offering a theatrical exploration into the human brain and its response to sexual assault. This edition was coincide with the London premiere at the Royal Court, in May 2024.
