Award-winning writing, direction and a brilliant ensemble from Tipperary woman Orla Murphy – Remember to Breathe – Theatre at The Source Arts Centre in March
Writer and director Orla Murphy draws on her own emigrant experiences in New Zealand.
Remember to Breathe is a play about three people trying to survive the ‘aftershocks’ of the Christchurch earthquake . In a pool in New Zealand, recent emigrant Maeve is learning to swim. Her ‘swimaholic’ coach spurs her on. But even as she battles the water, Maeve’s heart is calling her home – to an unresolved dilemma with her much-loved father. Journey with Maeve as she tries to swim free of the ties that bind. Starring Abbey theatre regular Liz Fitzgibbon as Maeve, the multi-award winning Raymond Keane as Johnny and comic talent Julie Sharkey as quirky coach Doreen.
Written and Directed by Tipperary born Orla Murphy
