Nancy Harris’ psychological drama Our New Girl opened at Lyric Theatre Belfast last week and the first reviews are in…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “In Nancy Harris’ stealthy, see-sawing psychological drama…first impressions prove deceptive…… Little by little, multiple layers of guilt, blame, recrimination and loathing emerge, simmer and eventually boil over into a domestic storm from which there is no refuge. Slick, stylish production of a gripping domestic drama” – The Stage
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This is a production so finely tuned you may eagerly anticipate the violin strings to snap suddenly in the play’s denouement. Our New Girl is much too clever for that and all the better for it. Razor-sharp in both thrill and wit this is a taut and tense two hours.” – The Arts Dispatch
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Irish nanny triggers mayhem in gruellingly tense domestic noir” – The Guardian
“Nancy Harris, the writer of acclaimed dark comedy The Dry, reveals her early mastery of family power games in this taut new production of her 2012 play that feels fresh and relevant” – The Guardian
“Our New Girl is a psychological snapshot of contemporary life, weaving together themes of family versus independence, love versus lust, and honesty versus goodness in a tense and powerful production.” – VIEW digital
Our New Girl is running at Lyric Theatre Belfast until Sunday 4th May, with tickets available now.
