Adrift
Contemporary Irish family drama probing fear and anti-immigrant sentiment, staged at Backstage Theatre
A birthday celebration turns febrile when a rural Irish family address their sister's relationship with a refugee. Fierce, funny and immediate, ADRIFT is a contemporary family drama exploring the psychology of fear and Ireland's complex relationship with emigration.
'You can't even have the conversation!'
Well, what better place than theatre? In ADRIFT, Kinahan explores the ironic rise of Irish anti-immigrant sentiment with her celebrated humour and humanity, taking the arguments that seem to set fire to hearts and buildings right into the Irish kitchen.
