| By Jimmy Murphy Directed by Garry Thomas Season: 8 - 15 April 2015 Set after the recent economic crash, the play represents a bachelorette party taking place in a rundown rural cottage some miles from Dublin. The newlyweds-to-be have purchased this country abode cheaply - the previous owners having suffered foreclosure. Now looking forward to her new life in this out-of the-way little house, the bride, Una, celebrates the so-called Hen Night with her two closest friends, Kelly and Triona; her future mother-in-law Olive; and her future husband’s godmother, Anta. The revelry is short circuited, however, when troubling secrets surface. The bonds that connect these women are severely strained. “Murphy’s piece is a subtle comedy that shades into poignant, thoughtful drama...” “... the real crux of the play isn’t the overtly obvious subjects of abuse, promiscuity or relationship troubles, but the deep-rooted issues of loyalty, betrayal and acceptance.” Cast: Una - Nikki Conyers Triona - Sam McKinnon Kelly - Sheree Hawker Olive - Felicity Watson Anta - Elizabeth Woods Crew: Director - Garry Thomas Production Manager - Susan Cameron Stage Manager - Sonya Cameron Prompt - Bec Sandys Tech - Craig Blaikie Wardrobe - Barry Tomkinson |     |
