“One drink. And if you never want to see me again you never have to see me again.”
€24 / €20
A tender, disarming and unexpected new drama by Deirdre Kinahan (The Saviour, Tempesta).
A man sits by a body of water. His once good suit hangs loosely now on his bones. It is dawn. The early boat he has travelled on has just docked and his fellow bleary eyed passengers disembark, swarming towards the city. In this near empty place he sits, unwilling or unable to set proper foot on Irish soil.
Not just a play of what was, or what is, and wrapped in longing and separation, this is a meticulous and devastatingly vivid portrayal of a life lived in extraordinary circumstances.
As we sit with Joseph in an Irish ferry terminal, we sit with every refugee and every citizen of the world who is forced to flee in search of peace, happiness, love, home.
Festival favourite Deirdre Kinahan (The Saviour 2022, Tempesta 2024, Songs and Souls 2025) reunites with leading theatre director Louise Lowe to explore the city’s cultural history as a port and place of departure in creating an evocation of place, memory and mind.
