Meredith

Gate Theatre, Friday 25th September - Sunday 1st November

Set against the backdrop of a single Sunday afternoon in County Meath, Meredith is a darkly comedic drama that peels back the layers of a family held together by secrets, shared history, and a stubborn refusal to age gracefully. Meredith is written by Erica Murray and directed by Annabelle Comyn as part of Dublin Theatre Festival.

Meredith’s daughter, Noelle, attempts to manage her mother’s recovery with rigid rules and downstairs beds, Meredith is busy exploring the world of online dating, lending money to mysterious men and striking up a flirtatious “friendship” with her eccentric new neighbour, Terry.

The arrival of Meredith’s grandson Lorcan, who is under a self-imposed “house arrest” after his own run-in with trouble sets off chain reaction of revelations. As the sun sets, the family must confront a series of crises, from cyber-scams and drug debts to long-buried grievances about a mother who once walked away.
