Heaven

Olivier and quadruple Fringe First award winning Fishamble are back with Heaven by Eugene O’Brien.

Heaven is set in the Irish midlands, during the weekend of a local wedding. Mairead and Mal are struggling to keep their marriage together. Perhaps attending a wedding will help, or it might raise questions that are difficult to answer.

This poignant, funny, beautiful play is full of humanity. HEAVEN is directed by Jim Culleton (Irish Times Best Director Award winner). It was a hit at Dublin Theatre Festival 2022, TravFest23 and Off-Broadway in 2023.

Heaven is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
