Might Never Happen - 2016/2018

“Every time a friend makes a comment, am I supposed to pull him up on it? And I do when the banter goes too far but… Every time? No one would fucking ask me out for pints… And yeah, I could try to start a discussion about gender inequality and the subjectification of women. That is definitely something I could do but … who wants to be the one to fuck up the evening? Just let it go, change the subject.”

Audience response to Might Never Happen

Might Never Happen was devised by founding company members of Doll’s Eye Theatre in 2016. The first performance of the Piece took place at The King’s Head Theatre in Islington, London.
