Sapling

by Georgina Duncan

A memorial garden destroyed.
A family buckling under the weight of silence.

Belfast 1990, and Gerry is barely keeping his life together.

His brother’s killer has just been released from prison, and now a stranger has arrived in town. An adolescence of kickabouts with his mates and tagging the chippy wall is about to change forever.

Winner of the Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2025, Georgina Duncan’s play explores what grows when deep-rooted pain is left untended.

Produced by Sheffield Theatres in co-production with Paines Plough and the Women’s Prize for Playwriting
