BWW Review: BELFAST GIRLS at Teater TreNovember 6, 2019Belfast Girls by Jaki McCarrick is set in the 19th century. There is severe famine and high poverty in Ireland. From England, criminals were transported to Australia, but there were also ships from Ireland with poor people dreaming of a better future elsewhere. Promises and stories of work that awaited and rich men who wanted nothing more than to marry a girl from Ireland, made 4,000 girls and young women more or less voluntarily embarked on the long journey to the other side of the globe. The girls were called 'orphan girls'. This play tells the story of 5 of these girls, Sarah (Fanny Rosen), Molly (Siri Bengtén), Judith (Liv Björk Zehourou), Ellen (Tove Simonsen) and Hannah (Moa Åström) who end up in a corner of the big ship where the so-called Belfast Girls gather. Who are they? Why are they doing this trip? They all have some secret that they do not want to reveal, but of course it is not possible to keep something secret during such a long journey. Slowly we get to know the different women and follow how the group is formed and influenced by each other. How do you react when you are told that a person is someone other than the one you thought someone killed their own child or lied about something else big? How, then, do relationships change?
