Synopsis
Citysong and Other Plays
$15.99 Published by Nick Hern Books
Late-night taxis, teen discos, home nurses, Jewish launderettes, vigilantes, babies, immigrants, seagulls
Citysong is a play, a poem and a chorus of voices showing three generations of a Dublin family on one day
Intimate and sweeping, joyous and ridiculous, it's modern-day Dublin's Under Milk Wood
It's different things at different times, which makes sense seeing as it's about change
Citysong premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in May 2019, before transferring to Soho Theatre, London
This edition also contains Boys and Girls, which won the Fishamble Best New Writing Award at the Dublin Fringe and was nominated for the Stewart Parker Trust Award, and Drawing Crosses on a Dusty Windowpane
