Peeling
By Kaite O'Reilly

Directed by
Kirstie Davis

Designed by
David Haworh

Composer/Music by
Rebecca Applin

This show toured from 26th Mar 11 to 16th Apr 11


Three actors are backstage for a modern version of Trojan Women. Gradually devastating truths are uncovered. This darkly comic play is about the choices women make and the things they hide.


Peeling cunningly interweaves live theatre, audio description and sign language.

This production is a must see. Forest Forge are offering audiences a moving provocative piece with a rich strand of humour running through its sensitive, intelligent, investigation of war, and disability. Bravo – a fine example of why this company always punches above its weight.

What an extraordinary play! This is what I want from theatre – to be taken into new territories; to experience deep, human contact; to have my brain tickled and to discover new places in my heart. A true joy to go on this bold adventure.

Kirstie and Kate should be proud – a powerful and sensitive play addressing demanding topics such as war, disability politics and the raw relationship between women who have faced major challenges in their lives! Enjoyed is the wrong word – but I’m very glad to have seen this moving and thought provoking play. The actresses are amazing – strong performers who play the roles with passion and a great depth of understanding. Well done all

Although I had read the synopsis I had no idea what would be involved and the whole performance was excellent in every way. I simply cannot fault it.

Saw your production on Friday 15th April in Dorchester Arts Centre.
I didn’t have time to fill in the form but wanted to say that Peeling was one of the most powerful plays I have seen.
The acting was brilliant and the message was massively important.
It has had a profound effect, I have been adopting Beatty’s defiant look since, I wish I suited red lipstick.
