GIRL ASLEEP

PEACOCK THEATRE, SALAMANCA ARTS CENTRE

Australia | 2015 | 77 minutes | DIR: Rosemary Myers | suitable for general audiences | TASMANIAN PREMIERE

On the cusp of turning fifteen Greta can’t bear to leave her childhood, it contains all the things that give her comfort in this incomprehensible new world. She floats in a bubble of loserdom with her only friend Elliott, until her parents throw her a surprise 15th birthday party and she’s flung into a parallel place; a world that’s weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous – only there can she find herself.

Based on the critically acclaimed production by Windmill Theatre, Girl Asleep is a journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind. “It’s in Myers’s commitment to eccentricity that Girl Asleep – an art-house film made firmly with a teenage audience in its sight – finds its heart.” —The Guardian

Rosemary Myers will be available for Q&A via Skype after the screening.
