Thicker than Water

Two sisters, both confined from expectation, find themselves stowed away in a dim and dark cabin, leaving everything they know behind. 

Playing cat and mouse with consequence after an irreparable reaction, Bronagh turns to her sister Saorise in hope that her brazen and uncontrollable nature will find them a way out – but when secrets start to come to shore, and what’s left of this family find themselves worlds apart it leaves only one question – is the blood on her hands really thicker than water? 

Written by Theo Traynor, this work sprucely compares the current climate surrounding how women are viewed today against women of the mid-19th Century. Brilliantly performed by Niamh Docherty and Caoimhe Ryan, under the direction of Jordan Paul, this piece truly examines feminine identity in reaction to consequence. 

This play contains strong language, and discussion of graphic violence and sexual assault.
