My Brilliant Divorce

By Geraldine Aron
Directed by Garry Hynes

By Geraldine Aron

A deliciously entertaining exploration of divorce, dating and the search for love.

the hilarious but poignant story of Angela, who recently deserted by her accountant husband for a younger woman, finds herself adrift in a sea of weird sexual encounters, sneaky solicitors, a disapproving mother, phone-in counsellors, a bad case of hypochondria and the spectre of poverty! Should she fight to keep her husband? Or should she sign the final papers and move on?

this is gorgeous stuff
Irish Times, 4th Dec 2001
truly funny and intelligent this is a blissfully irreverent tromp through divorce, dating and the search for love
The Sunday Tribune
beautifully staged
