"THE SHAPE OF A GIRL is loosely based on the Reena Virk Story: the real life tragedy of a 14-year-old girl killed by a boy and a group of girls, also teenagers. Braidie is fascinated by a TV news story about a girl accused of a shocking act of violence, "a monster in the shape of a girl". A different kind of girl from her and her friends…or is she? Propelled by memories she can't forget and scenes from her past she can no longer ignore, Braidie must confront the truth of her giddy, terrifying teenage world.

Can she find the courage to break her friends' conspiracy of silence when their bullying of a classmate goes too far?

Written by one of Canada's most respected authors, Governor General's Award winner Joan MacLeod, The Shape of a Girl is a dynamic one-woman show that looks at the realities of teenage relationships, aggression and codes of behaviour."

Director: Fionn Woodhouse
