Silverlands 1994

Silverlands

By Antoine O’Flaharta
Directed by Garry Hynes

In the West of Ireland, Tara decides to dance among the children of her fans from years ago, the fans she had before her career as a singer came to an end after a car crash. Discovering the new sound in the nightclub she stands in; Tara's night is a one of unexpected events and not the same as she remembers it.

riveting and pleasingly unoredictable taking its audience from the peak of pleasure to the depths of despair – an emotional helter-skelter which should be missed
The Irish Times, 19 July 1994
Druid’s production is perhaps the fullest realisation of Antoin O’Flatharta’s difficult and demanding but ultimately rewarding play
The Sunday Tribune, 25 July 1994
