‘three actors at the top of their game … a really fine production’ – RTÉ, The View
'haunting ... excellent ... outstanding' - Sunday Times
‘this smouldering piece of dramatic intensity … told with a simple unpretentious poetic power … utterly compelling’ – I. Mail on Sunday

Two years after the Irish premiere of David Harrower’s explosive Blackbird, Landmark Productions presents his breathtaking first play.
Set in a God-fearing, pre-industrial rural community, a young woman comes to terms with an ancient hatred, an unexpected betrayal, and a growing awareness of her place in the world.
Experience this fierce love story in the extraordinary space that housed Dublin’s first theatre in 1662 – the Smock Alley Theatre in Temple Bar.
Presented in partnership with Project Arts Centre at Smock Alley Theatre.
