ABIGAIL
A man in his forties and a woman in her twenties meet on a trip to Berlin. Across a fractured timeline where past and present collide, the story of their relationship, their love and their struggle unravels.
Written by multi-award winning playwright Fiona Doyle, Abigail presents the fractured timeline of a romance and the stark differences between a couple in crisis.
Abigail is, in some ways, about a breakup. But it is also so much more than that. ‘I think the minute you try to sum it up, it kills it a little bit’ states Doyle and – watching these complex characters navigate the unresolved traumas of their pasts – the same can be said about their collapsing relationship.
Directed by Mandi Chermak, this new staging offers the audience intimate access to Doyle’s characters, asking just how far would you go in order to take control.
