NEW GHOSTS THEATRE COMPANY
presents the return season of

IPHIGENIA IN SPLOTT

by Gary Owen
Directed by Lucy Clements
Old Fitz Theatre 07 – 22 March 2024

“What gets me through is knowing I took this pain, and saved all of you from suffering the same.”

Stumbling down Clifton Street at 11:30am drunk, Effie is the kind of girl you’d avoid eye contact with, silently passing judgement. We think we know her, but we don’t know the half of it. Effie’s life spirals through a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day – till one night gives her the chance to be something more.

Inspired by the enduring Greek myth, the long-awaited return of this ★★★★★ “must see” New Ghosts Theatre Company production of Iphigenia in Splott drives home the high price people pay for society’s shortcomings. Meg Clarke as Effie will break your heart.
