Four Short Plays. One Remarkable Evening

Brilliant Irish playwright Teresa Deevy’s suitcase is jam-packed and ready for a trip filled with romance, mystery and surprise
. Deevy’s characters “demand high adventure and emancipation of the spirit. She presents a blending of romance, reality and fantasy that has its roots in life.” (Irish Times, 1948). 

Four short plays packed with one wedding, three marriage proposals and two break-ups—all in one remarkable evening. Three World Premieres and one US Premiere performed by seven shape-shifting actors playing 22 characters.

The King Of Spain’s Daughter
(US Premiere):
“Annie Kinsella was born with romance in her soul,” the Irish Independent wrote when The King of Spain’s Daughter premiered at the Abbey in 1935.

Strange Birth
(World Premiere)
: Sara Meade works at a small rooming house where she observes with determined detachment the heartache of each resident; a caution against falling in love herself

Holiday House (World Premiere): It’s August at the seaside and the family is arriving for the summer holiday. Derek expects to be the center of attention, the one thing they all have in common

In The Cellar Of My Friend (World Premiere)
: Belle believes that she and Barney came to an understanding last night, but she arrives at his home this morning to a great surprise and a new understanding
