ASKING FOR IT Returns to The Everyman
Audience reaction to the acclaimed stage adaptation of Louise O'Neill's devastating novel was overwhelming. The initial run in The Everyman broke every box office record and the run at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin also sold out well in advance of the production even opening and drewan extraordinary reaction on social media. This timely production returns to the Everyman next week when audiences will have the chance to experience it for themselves.
