REVIEWS

“Fitting Corrib Theatre's trend of dark Irish plays, the show mines its characters and script for the drama. Portland mainstay Nikki Weaver is a perfectly restrained Hazel.”

Jess Drake, Willamette Week
“It would be easy to use the love triangle of Hazel, Annie, and Richard to dismantle the ambivalent privilege they’ve constructed for their lives, but Whelan develops a more complex, uprooting dance among the characters.”

Christa McIntyre, Oregon ArtsWatch

ABOUT

Our New Girl is a startling psychological drama about the darker side of modern parenthood. Behind the shiny door of Hazel Robinson’s immaculate London home, things aren’t as good as they look. When an Irish nanny arrives unannounced on her doorstep, Hazel finds her home under the shadow of a seemingly perfect stranger, and one who has an agenda of her own.
