Izzy Parriss Productions presents the Work In Progress reading of
HALF A SORROW
by Callan McCarthy
Directed by Izzy Parriss
HALF A SORROW is a three-hander queer romance & psychological thriller following Bea, a woman caught between who she is and who she’s trying to become, as she falls for footballer Liza while confronting Shadow, the internalised defence mechanism she’s relied on since childhood.
As their feelings intensify, Bea’s combative relationship with her Shadow starts to rip everything apart, bringing up long-avoided memories of her estranged mum.
Can Bea learn to love Liza in time, or will Shadow and the reminders of her own complicated emotional past threaten to stall her life eternally?
