Set in the village of Leenane in the early 1990s, the play centres on the life of Maureen Folan, a 40-year-old spinster who has to take care of her selfish and manipulative mother Mag. The glimmer of a last-chance romance between Maureen and the middle-aged construction worker Pato begins but is soon threatened by Mag.

Directed by DonAl Kelly, this story, full of deception and heartache will have you at the edge of your seat. Tickets are available through Roscommon Arts Centre's box office on 090 6625824.
