CORTISOL

by Megan Haly and Shannon Haly

'Your card’s declined.' Cortisol.

'Have you a boyfriend yet?' Cortisol.

'Are you doing a masters?' Cortisol.

They said our twenties would be the best years of our lives...

A queer coming of age rollercoaster ride through growing up in Ireland. From childhood nostalgia to present day chaos, Sam has been through the highs of first love and the heartbreak of grief. She's flown the nest, and crash landed back into it.

Written by Megan Haly and Shannon Haly, directed by Jeda de Brí, and performed by Megan Haly and Shannon Haly.
