Same Old Moon at Draíocht

Set in Galway and London, this very funny and moving play follows the life of aspiring writer Brenda Barnes from childhood to her early forties. Forced to emigrate to London to survive, we meet, through Brenda’s eyes, her eccentric and fiery Irish family - her wilful and self-destructive Dad, her put-upon and sometimes hot-tempered Mum, her whinging aunt and her puritanical maternal Granny from Galway - characters that have influenced her life in various ways. It is a charming, but not uncritical, look at family life, littered with comedy and poignancy throughout.
