By Conor McPherson
From his Dublin office, newly graduated therapist (and ex-priest) Ian meets John, a tortured widower with a terrible secret. Together they unpack John‘s winding story that leaves them both altered in surprising and unforeseen ways. McPherson's subtle play about death, love and what haunts us when we fail to use our words to fully connect is a hallmark of nuanced contemporary playwriting. It is shrouded in mystery, revealing the power of love’s light to those who find the courage to fully tell and embrace their own story.
