Following the recent death of her husband, Máirín, an artist and an outsider living in a small coastal village in Northern Ireland, gathers three local women to her house. Each of the women gathered has a reason for being there and a bloody good reason not to be there. These women have secrets. This community has secrets. And, as the evening passes, Máirín learns more than she bargained for about the man she had loved.
Fishamble, the award-winning company who so far in 2009 have brought you Handel’s Crossing, Forgotten, Noah and the Tower Flower and The Pride of Parnell Street is delighted to present the world premiere of Strandline.
Strandline is a richly comic, searing drama by Abbie Spallen, one of Ireland’s most exciting playwrights and recent winner of the Steward Parker Trust Award.
