WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set in Ohio in 1916, White Woman Street tells of five outlaws led by Irish expatriate, Trooper O'Hara, who converge on the town of White Woman Street. Haunted by dark memories of a long ago visit, O'Hara leads his rag-tag gang into the town -- and into the brothel, wherein he must face his demons. Against a poetic narrative of Irish and American history, Sebastian Barry weaves a searing tale that evokes a time of change and personal displacement. Stories are told, songs are sung, wild boars are shot and eaten, and a train filled with gold is approaching fast!

In Sebastian Barry's ambitious new play White Woman Street, now being a given superior production at the Irish Repertory Theatre, the playwright uses the genre to explore the more personal issue of guilt.
The work is set in 1916 Ohio, where we meet a band of five unlikely outlaws (played by Ron Crawford, Charlie Hudson III, Greg Mullavey, Gordon Stanley, and Evan Zes). The three elderly gents are Irish, Amish, and English, while the younger fellows [...]
