Quake

Written by Janet Moran

Directed by Conall Morrison

Over the course of four seasons, six characters gather at a Quaker Meeting House to seek comfort through community. With their tenancy of the venue under threat and the viability of the group in question, they strive to communicate their hidden truths.

Quake examines the gaps between what we say and what we really feel. A Funny, strange and touching exploration of what it is to be human, this new play is an ode to bad mothers, bold girls and conflicted men.

Quake is a world premier by award-winning performer/writer Janet Moran (Swing, A Holy Show).

Co-commissioned by Pavilion Theatre and supported Fishamble’s New Play Clinic. Funded by the Arts Council | An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
