The Play

The play is a heartfelt comic and moving drama that charts a journey of love, loss and redemption. Tim and Jane are from different sides of the class divide, but after a random meeting at a New Year's Eve party leads to unexpected events, they attempt to form a relationship against all the odds.

It was first performed at the 25th Galway arts festival on 19 July 2002 and presented by Druid Theatre Company and directed by Garry Hynes.
