RANDA SAYED

The Girl / The Woman

National Theatre Of Parramatta / Apocalypse Theatre Company

2018

​

​

I’m a polite feminist.
A liar.
A girl.
Beyonce on a bad day.
I found a love in a hopeless place – he just doesn’t know it yet.
Forget everything you know about me.
Just stay calm...

...at all times.

​

The Girl trips over her sexuality and lands on her mother’s traditions. She turns to her best friend and enabler – the Internet. Her mother, meanwhile, hates to leave the house – a tiring but familiar refuge from an ever-changing outside world.

​

Twelve years in the making, wild and funny until it’s not, The Girl / The Woman, is an exhilarating two-woman collision of body and mind, desire and tradition, language and theatricality.
