Purple Snowflakes and Titty Wanks

The habit creeps up on me out of nowhere. Like a sheep on a country road in Limerick. Sinéad Murphy can orgasm with an electric toothbrush; she's getting together with boys in car parks at church discos; and she's doing so well in exams, her teachers think she's cheating. But she's struggling to manage a big secret, and there's only one person she can talk to about it. Written and performed by Sarah Hanly, Purple Snowflakes and Titty Wanks premieres at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in June 2020. 'This year's recipient is a writer of extraordinary potential. She has a completely distinctive theatrical voice and engages with the darkness in our world in a fiercesome way.' Vicky Featherstone, Artistic Director of the Royal Court Theatre, on awarding Sarah Hanly the 2019 Pinter Commission.
