"a gem of a play" - THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE
Siobhan Donnellan is a fascinating actress to watch.” – SHOSHANA GREENBURG, OFF BROADWAY ONLINE
“Dragonfly’s new play is one of the most genuinely lyrical and evocative new plays to be unveiled by an Irish theater company in years…Married to the Sea announces them as the most interesting theater company to have emerged in Ireland in decades.” – CAHIR O DOHERTY, THE IRISH VOICE
“In the theatre, the only thing more reliably dysfunctional than the American family is the Irish family, and Shona McCarthy offers a prime example of the latter in this low-key, lyrical drama.” – A.J. MELL, BACKSTAGE.COM | | | REPTILIAN - SYNOPSIS | | Dorothy believes her 63rd birthday will mirror every other day: cleaning the house and reciting poetry to her beloved turtles while her husband Richard works late with his young secretary, her son avoids the ruthless 'Ten-Toke Tony'. But past and present events collide with catastrophic consequences for everyone, even the turtles. | | | MARRIED TO THE SEA - SYNOPSIS | | Married to the Sea tells the story of Jo and Galway’s Old Claddagh sea-faring community. Jo is an eight year old girl with a special gift. On the mysterious disappearance of her father, she must contend with an unwelcome intruder in her household and her family’s secret past begins to unravel. | | | THE CLADDAGH - SETTING FOR MARRIED TO THE SEA | | The Claddagh was once a fishing village located west of Galway city centre, just outside the old city walls where the Corrib River meets Galway Bay. It is in clear view of The Spanish Arch, which was the location of regular fish markets where the locals supplied the city with seafood.
During the 19th century the Claddagh attracted many visitors, including writers who spread its fame. Irish-speaking into the 20th century, the village was replaced by a council-housing scheme in the 1930s. | |
