Summerhouse

By Robin Glendinning
Directed by Caroline Fitzgerald

This metaphorical play deals with alcoholism and family conflict and how these two problems can be connected. Although this is the main plot and told through hymns of a Catholic Church hymn book you can notice it as a metaphor for Northern Ireland, their destruction, conflict and the loss of identity they once had.
