Nancy Harris’ Our New Girl at Lyric Theatre, Belfast, has been selected by The Stage for their Top 50 Shows of 2025: Around the UK!
“Our New Girl was a relatively unfamiliar title to many Belfast theatregoers. But Rhiann Jeffrey’s sheeny production of Nancy Harris’ engrossing domestic drama has left a long and lasting impression. Thirteen years after its London premiere, the play has truly come into its own. At first sight, Hazel and Richard, an affluent professional couple with a bright little son, have it all. But Harris deftly plays the outsider card when a childminder unexpectedly pops into their architect-designed home and throws the switch on their precious marriage. Four fine-edged performances navigated the mounting tension, stealthily precipitated by infidelity, inept parenting, gaslighting and misogyny.” – Jane Coyle, The Stage
Congratulations to Nancy, and everyone involved in the Lyric production!
