After a critically acclaimed world premiere at the Gate Theatre as part of the 2023 Dublin Theatre Festival, Erica Murray’s The Loved Ones embarks on a nationwide tour.
In a remote farmhouse in West Clare, Nell is preparing to scatter her late son’s ashes with his grieving wife. Meanwhile, an American tourist settles in for what she expects to be a peaceful countryside retreat.
But when a young woman arrives at the cottage unexpectedly, the weekend takes an surprising and darkly comic turn. As tensions rise and secrets are revealed, these four strangers are forced into an uneasy reckoning with the past - and each other.
Hailed by The Irish Times as “wonderful, witty, assured and entertaining” and praised by The Irish Independent as “a glorious personality clash extravaganza”, The Loved Ones is a sharp, deeply moving, and wickedly funny new Irish play about motherhood, grief, and the families we find when life doesn’t go to plan.
Don’t miss the play that critics are calling ‘hilarious and heart-wrenching’ as it tours nationwide for a limited time only. Book now!
