Rough Magic and the Gate Theatre presents

THE LOVED ONES
by Erica Murray

NATIONAL TOUR

ABOUT:

Erica Murray’s hit show THE LOVED ONES, a Gate Theatre co-production with Rough Magic and directed by Ronan Phelan, will tour the country to all NASC venues in April and May 2025.

Originally staged as part of Dublin Theatre Festival in 2023, THE LOVED ONES is set in a renovated farmhouse where Nell, a mother in mourning, prepares to scatter her son’s ashes with her grieving daughter-in-law, Orla. Cheryl-Ann, a visitor from America, meanwhile settles in for an idyllic break in the wilds of West Clare.

However, these women have their weekend plans turned upside down when an unexpected guest, Gabby, arrives looking for shelter, solace and understanding. A situation as unlikely as it is inevitable will send these four extraordinary women reeling, leaving them questioning the true nature of love, loss and birds.
