Janie and I are very keen on Frank McGuiness’s plays and this one is a good example of why that is so.
It sounds like the scenario for so many Irish plays – a family gathers to celebrate a birthday in a remote cottage in the West of Ireland…just take my word for it that this one is/was special.
Click here for the Almeida resource on this play/production.
Wonderful cast, superbly directed and produced – this is what the Almeida does best.
This link – click here – finds the reviews and stuff – mostly excellent ones.
I recall that we felt our year of theatre going was properly up and running after seeing this one.
