BOOK A TICKET

Time stands still as Vic crash-lands in a women’s shelter. The more she tries to listen to her inner voice, the more the fractured perspectives of her personified mind clamour to be heard. Enormity offers a highly physical, fresh, and unexpectedly comedic take on a woman in her 20s seeking refuge.

Enormity, Girl, and the Earthquake in Her Lungs was developed in Nightwood Theatre’s esteemed Write from the Hip program, marking a 10-year collaboration for celebrated artists Chelsea Woolley (playwright) and Andrea Donaldson (director).
