Fishamble: The New Play Company is delighted to present the World Premiere of Strandline by Abbie Spallen, one of Ireland’s most exciting writers and winner of the Stewart Parker Trust Award. One month after the death of her husband, Máirín, an artist and an outsider living in a small coastal village, gathers three women to her house. Each of the women gathered has a reason for being there and a bloody good reason not to be there. These women have secrets. This community has secrets. And, as the evening passes, Máirín learns more than she bargained for about the man she had loved. This richly comic, searing drama is brought to the stage by the award-winning Fishamble, who so far in 2009 have produced Handel's Crossing, Forgotten, Noah and the Tower Flower and The Pride of Parnell Street, which has just returned from a hugely successful run in New York as part of the 1st Irish Festival. Strandline promises to be a must-see theatre production this November.
