ABOUT THE PLAY
"Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene…"
— Watershed summary"The play sparked riots when it premiered in Dublin, in part because of its portrayal of virtuous women fawning over a criminal, but also for its sullying of the rural idyll image of Western Ireland held in the capital at the time. There are no rainbows and fairies here; instead, it’s a place of limerence and longing, where the village folk are both fearful of outsiders and desperate for fresh blood. In Caitríona McLaughlin’s stylish and stylised production, all of this is captured vividly."
