SIVE

Castlerea Drama Group is delighted to bring its production of John B. Keane's Sive to Trinity Arts Centre on November 26th, 27th and 28th. Nana and Mena bicker and provoke one another in the small smoky cottage where they live with Sive and Mena’s husband, Mike. While Nana dotes on her orphaned granddaughter, Sive, Mena plots to marry the young girl off to an old local farmer for the promise of land and a chance to escape from poverty.

Written in 1959, Sive has become an Irish classic and one of the nation's best loved plays. It is a story about a battle of generations, a country in flux, exploitation, greed, love and tragedy all told with John B's lyrical dialogue and great Irish humour. Our production features many familiar faces and some new ones too. We look forward to entertaining you!
