Synopsis
The Seed
Published by Currency Press
2 Male 1 Female
Meet Rose Maloney ...
Her dad Danny went to Vietnam. Her grandfather Brian is ex-IRA and today is their collective birthday
From this intimate reunion, The Seed opens itself up over and over again until a silent family battle becomes a national story about finding new life amongst the rubble of old wars
This play has a very special kind of honesty and humour to it which sorts the great lies we buy into from the reality we live through
