"...do you know how hard it is To look in the mirror each day See a stranger in your face?" Areia grows up with a thousand unanswered questions. 

"Where did I get my eyes? My wavy hair? My scholarly air?"

When she finally discovers the truth to her burning questions she embarks on a life-changing trip to find out who she really is. Will she become whole and fix her broken heart? And is family really more than genetics and blood?

Premiere Production: Half of Me received its world premiere at the Lyric Hammersmith, on 28 July 2016, performed by the Future Stage Company at Generation Arts.
