A story of badly-behaved ghosts. And a dangerous sea.
In an old house somewhere in Ireland, a young mother watches over her sleeping baby. But, in Marina Carr’s dark and dangerously funny new play, nothing is as it seems.
Audrey or Sorrow will bring audiences on a shape-shifting, time-bending deep dive into a world of family secrets, unimaginable loss, ghosts behaving badly and the endless pull of the sea.
Landmark Productions and the Abbey Theatre join forces once again to present a sensational new play by one of Ireland’s leading playwrights, Marina Carr. Directed by Caitríona McLaughlin, Audrey or Sorrow brings together a stellar cast and creative team in this major new work by Carr, in the year of her 60th birthday.
Landmark Productions is grateful to The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon for its continuing support.
