A new play by Margaret Perry, Porcelain weaves past and present, myth and fact to explore the parallel stories of two Irish women.
Tipperary, 1895. Bridget Cleary’s not feeling quite herself. Her husband believes she has been taken by fairies and a changeling left in her place, with devastating consequences.
London, 2017. Hat is a new mother. She has a great life. So why does she want to disappear?
The real-life tragedy of Bridget Cleary provides a harrowing backdrop to a modern-day thriller.
