The first play written by award-winning actor and playwright Karen Cogan.
The Half Of It is a relentless, darkly lyrical monologue about a life, lived unseen, which won the Stewart Parker Award in 2018 after a sold-out run at the Dublin Fringe Festival, produced by Mommo Theatre.
In a London flat, a Cork woman is climbing the walls. She lives alone, eating dry digestives and hiding from the postman. She hasn't stepped outside in six years. Does she definitely still exist?
‘An exquisite piece of theatre… a poignant reflection on modern society and how we treat ourselves and each other’ - The Reviews Hub
‘A slow-burning and complex vision of a woman’s inner life’ - No More Workhorse
