Step into the compelling world of Marina Carr's 'Portia Coughlan,' where a captivating ensemble of characters unravels a tapestry of love, loss, and buried secrets in the heart of rural Ireland.

TADS proudly present PORTIA COUGHLAN by Marina Carr
From Tuesday 7th November to Saturday 11th November, nightly at 8pm at Esker Arts Centre Tullamore

Marina Carr’s hard-hitting, bleak (Offaly Gothic) drama portrays Portia as an anti-heroine whose life is overshadowed by the death of her twin brother, Gabriel and her obsession with him as the missing part of her life. Can she escape her tormented past and find her place in the world? Or is she doomed to follow Gabriel’s fate?

The play, taking place over two days, touches on subjects that are confronting and disturbing even now 27 years after its premiere: from sexual secrets passed on through generations to social prejudice and suicide. We accompany Portia as her life unravels and she wreaks havoc on all those around her.

Directed by Fionnuala Corrigan, join actors Síle Reynolds, Ivan Hanamy, Frank O’Brien, Daniel Murray, Laura Molloy, Damien Mitchell, Sandra Berry, Susan McDonnell, John Lynch, and Jacinta Dillon (in her TADS debut!) as they bring you on a journey with this Offaly Gothic drama.

Tickets: €15 on https://eskerarts-tickets.ticketsolve.com/.../1173636957
