Muck by Roseanna Purcell - A Rehearsed Reading and Q&A

Information

A reading of a new play from a contemporary rural voice, about an isolated woman who has become so disassociated from her body that she believes she’s turning into a cow.

Muck follows the journey of Maureen McLoughney, an insecure, isolated woman who has become so disassociated from her body she begins to believe she is turning into a cow. Having left her job at the local meat factory for a deli assistant position in a supermarket, Maureen is feeling good as she celebrates her 35th birthday with her parents, until a sudden outburst in retaliation to her mother emerges in the form of a cattle cry. As she searches for the reason behind this progressively frightening transformation, she is catapulted into a series of unfamiliar social and sexual interactions, leading her back to the killing floor at the factory, only for Maureen to discover her true nature in an illuminating, cathartic light.

Roseanna Purcell is an actor and writer from Littleton, Tipperary.
