The Almighty Sometimes

Anna was diagnosed with a severe mental illness as a child and prescribed a cocktail of pills to deal with it. As she reaches adolescence, she begins to wonder what life might be like without them. More fulfilling? More exciting? More real? But moving past being medicated is no mean feat, with her mother feeling compelled to intervene – threatening the fragile balance they have both fought so hard to maintain.

Winner of the Judges’ Award in the prestigious Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting (UK) and the NSW and Victorian Premier’s Prizes for Drama, Kendall Feaver’s captivating play is a profound and compelling study of a young woman trying to discover where her illness ends and her identity begins.

With heart and humour, Kendall Feaver’s tender portrait echoes conversations happening at dinner tables across the country, while tapping into the universal tension between a mother’s care and a child’s independence.
