A sharp, disarmingly astute comment on the world of pharmaceuticals and wellbeing. With its rhythmic, paired down dialogue, 10 mg explores an apparently stable family as a metaphor for dependence.
10 mg was a finalist for the Hystrio Prize, where it was awarded an Honourable Mention.
10mg is written by Maria Teresa Berardelli, translated by Edward Fortes and directed by Kate O’Connor
