GDIRL FROM GDANSK
A World Premiere by Liam Heylin
Opening February 11
About the Play: Liam Heylin’s new play tells the story of two brothers trying to survive beyond the shadow of their past in a changing Ireland. It is also a story of love -- between a young Polish immigrant and one of these brothers, and between the boys’ mother and a local man, discovering love as wounded adults. This interwoven tale of love, jealousy, and a country in transition takes an unexpected turn as past resentment gets the better of the two brothers. Sad, funny, sweet, and dark. Superb writing from the playwright of the much acclaimed ’Love, Peace & Robbery.’
Directed by Mark A. Rhea and Joe Baker
Featuring Sheri S. Herren, Aidan O’Hare, Elizabeth Jernigan, Matthew Keenan, and Bruce Rauscher
