About Pennyroyal

A heartrending new play about sisterhood and motherhood; enduring love and regrets many years in the making. When Daphne is diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency at 19, her sister Christine steps in to help in the only way she knows how: by donating her eggs. For a moment, the world seems corrected. But as the years go by and Daphne sets out on the long road of IVF, the sisters’ relationship begins to twist. Pennyroyal explores the things expected of women and what happens when life doesn’t go to plan. Pennyroyal is inspired by Edith Wharton’s 1922 novella The Old Maid, which was adapted ten years later into a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Zoe Akins. A hundred years on, the story is reimagined by Lucy Roslyn, with direction by Josh Roche.
