Synopsis
A Galway Girl

1 Male 1 Female
A couple sit at opposite ends of a table reminiscing about their life together
Each has a point of view and they rarely address each other directly. They are young to begin with, then middle aged, then old, then one dies
The anecdotes they relate are both humorous and tragic. Their lives seem wasted, yet the wife's muted final gesture of affection conveys a love that endured through years of bickering
This one act play has been a critical success in London, Ireland and South Africa
REVIEWS
"A minute tapestry cross stitched with rich detail-- invested with a strong strain of uncomfortable truths" ~ Irish Times
