Furniture

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Sonya Kelly 

  • Notes

    Furniture received a rehearsed reading as part of the Druid Debut series at the 2017 Galway International Arts Festival. 

  • Synopsis

    Furniture is not sentimental. You can love it, but it won’t remember who you are. Told through the lives of six individuals, this comedy looks at how the things we own shape our worldview and even ourselves.  In an age of rampant consumerism, is it easier to purchase symbols of identity rather than cultivate our own? Three short plays about chairs and tables, and the people who love them.
