Synopsis

In this raw and moving debut chapbook, Maeve McKenna dives into the multitudes of womanhood: a mother, unmothered; a lover, alone; a child, now aged. She flings the cover off pain that would otherwise remain hidden and unspoken, exposing the most intimate parts of herself. In doing so, she invites the reader to embrace their own vulnerabilities, calling, "Let's assemble our bodies, limb to limb against/the walls of unoccupied margins, hope pointed/like the scope of a firing squad...I am writing it for you. For me."
Prepare to be undone. Maeve McKenna's debut pamphlet 'A Dedication to Drowning' will leave you gasping for breath, head and heart battered and bruised by its ferocious, unflinching energy. Here is a poet that does not shy away from the hard edges of life where "each day is birth and a burial" - Gerard Beirne, Author of 'Games of Chance: A Gambler's Manual' (poetry)

    An explosive and thought-provoking play from the author of Girls Like That, exploring what happens when buried secrets catch up with you.
As Head of Year 11, Diane is meant to be implementing the new 'Healthy Relationships' curriculum. But then Freddie arrives. She hasn't seen him since that night six years earlier when he was fifteen.
She thinks he took advantage of her. He thinks she groomed him for months. Neither is sure. But when it comes to sex and consent, how far can you blur the lines?
Evan Placey's Consensual was first performed by the National Youth Theatre in their 2015 West End season.
