Thérèse
Contemporary Dublin play following 10-year-old Thérèse as grief uncovers generational injustice
1989
Army tanks roll into a rundown estate in West Dublin. On a hill overlooking the battle stands a child. She is 10 years old. Her name is Thérèse.
2026
Thérèse is in the throes of grief after the unexpected death of her brother. Her grief acts as a portal to old wounds. Past injustices.
Thérèse is a modern day epic set in contemporary Dublin. It is a roar seeking accountability from those in power. The Gods. It is an homage to those who have been lost, and a complex exploration of the impact of generational social inequity.
