OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Deirdre Kinahan 

  • Notes

    Based on Deirdre Kinahan's play YES, produced as part of Draíocht’s Home Theatre (Ireland) Project in 2018.

  • Synopsis

    Rose has washed and ironed her cowgirl shirt and skirt. She carries it on a hanger. She likes the way the fringe swings when she wears it. Makes her feel glamourous. Adventurous. Brave. She stands on the empty stage and looks out into the auditorium. Imagining what it will be like when it is full. Which it will be. Tonight. When the choir perform. In the quiet of the theatre, she finds herself thinking back on the events of that morning, the events of last year, the last twenty years. When did she stop being her? Rose thinks about her dead husband Stephen, and her sons, and the man who knocked on her door.
