Family Plot

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Daragh Carville 

  • Synopsis

    Inside their family grave, three generations of Kerrs are dead and buried, but condemned not to rest. They didn't get on in life and they certainly don't get on in death. They continue to battle out the arguments of their lifetimes, until the youngest member of the family arrives in the grave, a fourth generation and the last of the line. It is only with Emer's arrival that the family begin to realise that they must accept the cost and consequences of how they lived before their story of forgotten love and shocking betrayal can finally be resolved and they can find some kind of peace.
