Narrative in tatters

• Even the structure of the narrative itself is in tatters.
• Mary is the name adopted by 16-year-old Penelope, who has suffered horrific abuse and is now pregnant and alone.
• The narrative mode creates a sense of authenticity and veracity, making readers privy to factual evidence from which they can form their impressions.
• Like epistolary narrative, verbatim theatre aims to bring the authenticity of lived experience to a story.

A dreamlike fantasy world

• This is the other side of Immaculate’s emphasis on the real: a dreamlike, fantasy world, which somehow exists within a shared consciousness of several of the characters.
• The magical-realist space offers the characters a way of healing their real-life traumas through a deeper understanding of their individual fears and desires.
• Traces of this dream world remain in the real world, making it impossible to write off this part of the story as illusion or hallucination.
• Ultimately, the fairy-tale world is a way for Frances, Mary, Glenda, Jasper and others to accept the “brutal truth”.
