It Is Good We Are Dreaming

The New Theatre

May 31st – June 11th 2022

Fionn arrives at his sister Fiadh's house unexpectedly one morning. He's come to ask has she heard from their mother. She hasn't. Yet as the morning progresses the two estranged siblings come to discuss the state of the world, their love lives, themselves, their childhood, the man made of rock their mother fell in love with once and the end one day of maybe everything we've known.
