'I think of my body sometimes like it's stubborn. We're not good friends. Like it's a spooky hotel, and I'm a ghost haunting it. 'Cause you don't live in a hotel, you just pass through.'
When Daphne is diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency at the age of nineteen, her sister Christine steps in to help in the only way she knows how: by donating her eggs. For a while, the world seems corrected. But as the years go by – and Daphne sets out on the long road of IVF – the sisters' relationship begins to twist.
Pennyroyal is a heartrending new play by Lucy Roslyn about sisterhood and motherhood, enduring love, and regrets many years in the making. Inspired by Edith Wharton's 1922 novella The Old Maid, it was premiered at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2022, directed by Josh Roche.
Lucy Roslyn is an award-winning performer and writer. Her work includes Orlando, which won the Origins Award at VAULT Festival before transferring to the Pleasance Edinburgh, Showmanship (Theatre503), Goody (Pleasance Edinburgh/Greenwich Theatre) and The State vs John Hayes (Edinburgh Festival Fringe/UK tour).
