Synopsis
Faye's afraid.
She's not sleeping, she doesn't trust ducks and all she's had to eat this week is a box of dry Rice Krispies.
Desperate to shake her insomnia, Faye enlists the help of her brother, Naoise, to try a form of exposure therapy. But Naoise has a devastating secret that's about to explode. LIE LOW is about a woman living with the affects of post-traumatic stress disorder. Faye (Charlotte McCurry) is having trouble sleeping following a break-in and sexual assault at her home. She is terrified she will be raped and murdered. Doctors don’t help so, informed by the internet, she decides to tackle her fears with “exposure therapy”, asking her semi-estranged brother Naoise (Michael Patrick/Thomas Finnegan) to role-play a man hiding in her wardrobe. But Naoise has problems of his own, and the story’s complications increase exponentially, with perpetrator and victim status shifting about like mercury on a fork.
Lie Low is a wild and dark new play, directed by Oisin Kearney, about fear, trauma and family. It offers a theatrical exploration into the human brain via the genitals.
