tenderfire in association with The New Theatre presents: EPIPHANY – a bold reimaging of James Joyce’s masterpiece ‘The Dead’.
In this solo show Gretta Conroy takes centre stage at the Misses Morkan’s annual supper party.
Gretta has it all – a house on the Kingston line, a gentleman’s family and a romantic night in The Gresham planned with her dutiful husband Gabriel. But when a love song from her past unearths long buried memories Gretta is compelled to face the choices that molded her and the path that lies ahead.
Themes of love, loss and longing are excavated under the ghost weight of the past.
Written & performed by Lesley Conroy – award-winning writer & IFTA nominated actress.
Directed by Fiana Toibin
