Duck

by Stella Feehily

A sparky and moving first play about female friendship, premiered by Out of Joint Theatre Company, directed by Max Stafford-Clark.

Cat and Sophie are Dublin teenagers on the brink, growing up in the face of everything a city can throw at them. How can you learn to be good when your elders are no longer your betters? Somehow, the girls must cope - or find a way of escaping.

Decent but kind of forgettable. It's social realism, not necessarily at its best or grittiest, but there's some interesting characters. I probably wouldn't reread but I also wouldn't have begrudged the ticket money to see it. Also, I do like social realism particularly.

**EDIT**
I reread this play a year later and enjoyed it a lot more. It still wasn't perfect but I'm adjusting my initial rating from a 3 to a 4.
