"A tender little green shoot of a piece" Lyn Gardner

1996. A young mother walks out of a small house in Shepherd’s Bush and doesn’t look back.

2019. A daughter lies in a bath and stares at a crack in the ceiling.

Joy and EJ prepare for their first meeting in twenty-two years. They run, they bathe, they inhale, they wait.

i will still be whole (when you rip me in half) is the debut play by acclaimed theatre critic Ava Wong Davies: a lyrical interlinking of monologues devoted to blood ties, the cycle of trauma, and what we inherit from our parents.

Ava Wong Davies is a playwright and theatre critic based in London. She is a regular contributor to The Stage and Exeunt Magazine, is a monthly theatre columnist for gal-dem, and in 2018 won the Sunday Times Harold Hobson award for criticism. As a playwright, her work has been showcased at The Yard, The Bunker, Theatre Deli, VAULT Festival, and The North Wall. Her debut play i will still be whole (when you rip me in half) was programmed as part of Chris Sonnex’s second season at The Bunker Theatre in November 2019. She is an alumna of the Soho Theatre Writers Lab 18/19 and one of the Bush Theatre’s Emerging Writers.
