A new play written by Una McKevitt, directed by Emma Jordan, live-streamed from the Abbey Stage
Brenda wants Frank to do his exercises, Aoife wants to go to a wedding of all things, Fiona doesn’t know what she wants and Frank is looking for the gun.
A comic new play by Una McKevitt, One Good Turn brings us a family on the brink who are keeping the show on the road any which way they can.
Directed by Emma Jordan, Best Director winner at the Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards 2018, One Good Turn is a wry and life-affirming exploration into the ups and downs of family bonds.
One Good Turn will be performed live on the Abbey Stage from 21st to 26th June. The performances on June 25th and 26th will be live-streamed to your homes. It will be available on-demand until July 10th.
Captioned and Irish Sign Language video performances will be available on-demand from Monday 28th June.
