Arcola Participation Women's Company

Second Person Narrative

Written by Jemma Kennedy

Directed by Madelaine Moore

Off you go then and best of luck. It’s bound to be different this time though some of it might seem familiar. Still, not to worry, it’s all a work-in-progress”

You’re born a girl. You grow up. You grow old. You die. But who is in control of your story? Can you actually choose your destiny? And how do you forge your own identity along the way? Presented by Arcola Women’s Company, Second Person Narrative captures a single character’s life, from birth to death, surrounded by voices who try to shape her and her narrative.
