Three Poems

Three poem plays from Alistair McDowall, that push the boundary and intersection of theatre, structure and form, examining the extraordinary in the ordinary.

I suppose I never questioned why I was only one piece before

A woman trapped at home during an air raid.
A mother who starts to see double.
A whole life in one breath.

Three short plays by Alistair McDowall introduce us to three women whose ordinary lives mask extraordinary internal worlds.

This trilogy includes the plays Northleigh, 1940, In Stereo and all of it, written for and performed by Kate O’Flynn. This edition was published to coincide with the run at the Royal Court and the Avignon Festival in June 2023.
