Split Ends - Claudia Shnier's one woman epic - 2SER

“The thing about split ends is that as soon as you cut one off, somewhere else on the head, another strand of hair will split.”

Following a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025, this multimedia performance exploring Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and coercive control comes to Sydney at the Qtopia space in Darlinghurst from the 20th to the 24th of January.

This production was written, directed and created by the powerhouse writer and actress Claudia Shnier and explores an abusive relationship she personally experienced. Shnier’s vulnerable subject matter makes for a deeply moving and powerful performance that you do not want to miss.

Monday Daily’s Eva G spoke to Claudia about her creation of the play and her experience in Edinburgh.

*Content warning* – This discussion contains discussion of OCD, coercive control, and sexual assault.
