It’s Christmas Eve in 1980s Ireland.
A family gathers in a big house in North Kerry under the watchful eye of matriarch Alice. Amidst the festive cheer and witty banter of a typical family Christmas lies an undercurrent of recriminations and a truth that could shatter all their lives.
Director Andrew Flynn (The Ferryman, Hangmen, From A low and Quiet Sea) and award-winning writer, Christian O’Reilly (Unspeakable Conversations, No Magic Pill, Sanctuary) reunite to present a gripping, often hilarious, new family drama, premiering in the intimate setting of the Mick Lally Theatre.
