As family after family relocates out of Dublin's blighted Ballymun tower blocks, young, single-mother Paula tries to hang on and keep her own family together, including managing her streetwise 16 year-old sister, just back from London and full of swagger and Bacardi Breezers. When a chance at romance enters Paula's life, will she sacrifice the old to build a new future, or will she hang on to what she knows, even as it threatens to crumble around her? Philip McMahon's play is as vital now as when it debuted in 2011, offering a loving and unflinching look at the lives of Ireland's strong, fierce-hearted women, and the choices they face in a difficult world. |
With Kate Romond, Audrey Anderson, Savanna Rae, Morgan Kerian and Ensemble Member Matthew Isler
MARCH 14 - APRIL 12 at THE DEN THEATRE
A MESSAGE FROM OUR INTERIM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
|
As the Irish Theatre Of Chicago heads into its 25th Anniversary season, I'm excited to share our future plans with all of you!
In February 2020, we return to the DeBartolo Arts Center at Notre Dame with DOUBT, followed by the Chicago premiere of PINEAPPLE here at The Den in March! We'll also continue our annual THREE PINTS free staged reading series in January and February at Chief O'Neill's, and will be throwing a fantastic 2020/2021 Season Announcement Gala there in April! Last year, ITC was thrilled to attend the Dublin Theatre Festival (courtesy of an anonymous donor's gift to our Play Development program, and a generous grant by supprter Leslie Spiller), as part of our ongoing mission to build bridges between Irish playwrights and Chicago audiences, bringing you the best . We hope to see you all in the coming months - YOU are why we're here, and why we do what we do! - J.R. Sullivan |
