Lie Low
“I need you to get in the wardrobe.”
Faye’s afraid.
She’s not sleeping, she doesn’t trust ducks and all she’s had to eat this week is a box of dry Rice Krispies.
A doctor recommends a form of exposure therapy, so Faye enlists the help of her brother, Naoise. But Naoise has a devastating secret that’s about to explode.
A darkly funny new monologue by Ciara Elizabeth Smyth, Lie Low is a theatrical exploration into the human brain via the genitals. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Dublin Fringe Festival, in September 2022.
