Ronan Noone

Published by Dramatists Play Service

5 Male 4 Female

A recent Irish immigrant, Brendan now calls America home

He misses his family but works hard to fit into his adopted country and find love and meaning in his new life

But his lifestyle goes topsy-turvy when he receives a letter from home

Suddenly, the ghost of his mother starts following him around

Of course, she has plenty to say about his friends, his shameful lifestyle and how worried she is about him learning to drive on the other side of the road

This is a funny, evocative and wonderfully touching play about love, loss and coming to terms with leaving the past behind you

"Ronan Noone crafts a gentle, sweet-natured play ... the work should prove attractive to auds and theatres looking for a play that goes straight to the heart of Eire while stirring American immigrant emotions, too" ~ Variety

"Fluid, funny and heartfelt, Brendan is Ronan Noone's most expertly crafted play yet. And that's saying something" ~ Boston Globe

" ... lively and loving ... as warm and as sweet as a hot fudge sundae ... very funny" ~ Boston Phoenix
