Tom Murphy, writer of the highly acclaimed ‘The Wake’, brings his latest work to the Abbey. ‘The House’ tells the story of Christy Cavanagh and his love for the de Burca family: a mother and three daughters. Circumstances will turn this childhood fixation into an unstoppable adult obsession that will lead to destructive consequences. Set over two weeks in July, during the annual holiday for emigrant workers, ‘The House’ tells a strong tale about roots and belonging.
