Lie Low

I was broken into a year ago and I was struggling for a bit afterwards. I''m fine now though.

In the wake of a home invasion, Faye can''t sleep. She''s fine though. All she''s had to eat this week is a box of dry Rice Krispies. She''s fine though, really – she is…

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 come to light.

Lie Low is a dark new play from writer Ciara Elizabeth Smyth about fear, trauma and family, offering a theatrical exploration into the human brain and its response to sexual assault. This edition was published to coincide with the London premiere at the Royal Court, in May 2024.
