This is the story of Lucy Barton, who wakes up after an operation in a New York hospital to find her estranged mother at the foot of her bed. During this unexpected visit, Lucy tries to come to an understanding of her past, the complicated and complex love between herself and her mother and how much she has gained and lost to become a writer.
"My Name is Lucy Barton" is a stage adaptation by Rona Munro of the best-selling book of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winner Elizabeth Strout.
My Name is Lucy Barton is directed by Eilish Rafferty, starring Maeve O’Donovan as Lucy.
“Tremendously affecting… This delicate memory piece resonate[s] with the soaring vitality of a fully lived-in present.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“Elizabeth Strout’s first-person narrative… fits perfectly on the stage… What comes out in performance, even more than in reading the book, is the idea that, even if you totally reinvent yourself, your past remains inescapable.” – The Guardian
