Trade / Mary Motorhead by O’Halloran, 日 13 10月 2024, から (2024/2024), 監督 Tom Creed, 導体 Elaine Kelly, Watergate Theatre, Kilkenny, Ireland

Irish composer Emma O’Halloran has turned two of her uncle Mark O’Halloran’s plays into a critically acclaimed double bill. Mary Motorhead has been locked in a prison cell after stabbing her husband in the head with a 12-inch carving knife. While he lies in intensive care, Mary reflects on the events that have brought this turbulent rural marriage to such a crisis. In a guesthouse in Dublin’s north inner city, a vulnerable and confused young rent boy sits with a middle-aged client. The older man has blood on his shirt. A lot has happened since the two last met.
