Once Off Productions presents Poison, directed by Lianne O’Shea, at The Mick Lally Theatre.

When what is unspoken matters as much as what is said, a man and a woman meet again after nine years apart. Reunited by the memory of the child they lost, they are forced to confront grief, love and the possibility of living. Is it possible to move on?

In Poison, acclaimed Dutch playwright Lot Vekemans crafts a powerful, intimate portrait of two people both broken and bound by loss, and by all that remains unspoken between them.

Naoise Dunbar and Rachel O’Byrne star in this Irish premiere of Poison, directed by Lianne O’Shea.
