"When, at 19, Daphne is diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency, her older sister helps in the only way she can: donating her eggs. But the further along the IVF journey Daphne gets, the further apart the sisters grow. Pennyroyal is a poignant, knotty two-hander about parenthood and sisterhood; bad singing and bad impressions; and how far you'll go for the ones you love."
Pennyroyal is a heartrending new play by Lucy Roslyn about sisterhood and motherhood, enduring love, and regrets many years in the making. Inspired by Edith Wharton's 1922 novella The Old Maid, it was premiered at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2022, directed by Josh Roche.
