The Loved Ones
The Loved Ones
by Erica Murray
NASC presents a Rough Magic and Gate Theatre production
Running time: 2 hrs including interval
After earning critical acclaim at its world premiere at the Gate Theatre during the 2023 Dublin Theatre Festival, Erica Murray’s The Loved Ones arrives at Backstage as part of its national tour.
In a remote farmhouse, Nell prepares to scatter her son’s ashes with her grieving daughter-in-law, while a visitor settles in for an idyllic break in the wilds of West Clare.
However, their weekend plans will be disrupted when an unexpected guest arrives looking for shelter, solace and understanding.
In this beautiful play by Erica Murray, a situation as unlikely as it is inevitable will send these four lives reeling, leaving them questioning the true nature of love, loss and birds.
