The It
About
A teenage girl has something growing inside her. She doesn't know what it is, but she knows it's not a baby. It expands. It has claws. Eventually it takes over the entirety of her body.No one must know about it. She has to keep its presence, its possession of her, concealed. She pulls away from her friends. She refuses to speak, in case 'The It' is heard. But she can't contain it forever. Sooner or later something's got to give...
Presented in the style of a direct-address documentary by an ensemble of those in the girl’s life, as well as hearing from the girl herself, Vivienne Franzmann's The It is a darkly comic state-of-the-nation play exploring adolescent mental health and the rage within.
This production will be performed by pupils in years 10 and 12.
