Conor McPherson’s Olivier award-winning modern classic.

In a small Irish town, the locals exchange stories round the crackling fire of Brendan’s pub to while away the hours one stormy night.

As the beer and whisky flows, the arrival of a young stranger, haunted by a secret from her past, turns the tales of folklore into something more unsettling. One story, however, is more chilling and more real than any of them could have ever imagined.

This shadowy tale delving into the dark corners of human lives, celebrates its 20th anniversary year.
