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 a Q&A via Sype after this screening.
