Peanut
Synopsis:
‘Peanut’ is a short play charting one woman’s journey home to Ireland after her exile to England for an abortion procedure following a fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis for her unborn child.
As she travels across the sea, we share her inner monologue and relive with her the circumstances that led her to be there, so far from all familiar comfort.
Painful, honest, and moving, Peanut could be the story of any woman, anywhere in the world who is forced to leave their home in order to seek basic healthcare due to a lack of access to effective abortion services. The pain of Peanut is a universal one.
