The actor should be able to create the universe in the palm of his hand. Laurence Olivier

Our next production will be 'Midden.

Fifteen years after leaving her Derry home to start a successful Irish-linen business in Philadelphia, Ruth is back in the family home that she never wanted to leave. But while Ruth's mother insists on laying on the fatted calf for her vegetarian daughter, this is hardly a happy homecoming. Ruth has run out on her fiancé just a few weeks before the wedding. Her grandmother's mind is drifting between the present and a past of painful secrets; her younger sister Aileen's small-town life - an existence Ruth has idealized and coveted - is going wrong and Ma doesn't seem at all pleased to have her daughter home.

“Morna Regan's immensely promising first play is a rich brew of family relationships, exploring how our history shapes our futures more than we might realize. Warm, funny and perceptive, it is also strangely elusive.” (Brian Logan – The Guardian)
