ADRIFT

Pavilion Theatre, Thursday 26th November - Friday 27th November

‘Ireland is full’?

Of what exactly?

A birthday celebration turns febrile when a rural Irish family address their sister’s relationship with a refugee.  Fierce, funny and immediate, ADRIFT is a contemporary family drama exploring the psychology of fear and Ireland’s complex relationship with emigration from acclaimed playwright Deirdre Kinahan (REFUGE, The Homecoming of Joesph Grace, The Saviour, Rathmines Road).

‘You can’t even have the conversation!’

Well, what better place than theatre?  In ADRIFT, Kinahan explores the ironic rise of Irish anti-immigrant sentiment with her celebrated humour and humanity, taking the arguments that seem to set fire to hearts and buildings right into the Irish kitchen.
