THE HOMECOMING OF JOSEPH GRACE
A new play by Deirdre Kinahan
Directed by Louise Lowe
Performed by Michael Glenn Murphy
A man sits by a body of water.
His once good suit hangs loosely now on his bones.
It is dawn.
The early boat he has travelled on has just docked and his fellow bleary eyed passengers disembark, swarming towards the city. In this near empty place he sits, unwilling or unable to set proper foot on Irish Soil.
Produced by Once Off Productions and Cork Midsummer Festival, in association with Pavilion Theatre
