WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Two potent plays exploring the fragile world of father/son relationships in contemporary Ireland. The first, the American premiere of After Luke is set in the heyday of Ireland's recent boom, explores the greed-driven frenzy of the property market when one son returns from abroad and manipulates the sale of the home place. The second play, When I Was God, is a searing drama of a father's heartbreaking expectations for his son in sports. We witness through the eyes of a ten year old the longings of a fanatical dad. On the field of dreams, the referee is God--but what happens when God is made man?

Now Maneen is back, wanting to sell the family's land in order to get another fresh start, while Son is keen on keeping things just the way they[...]
