The One Good Thing, Or ‘Are Ya Patrick Swayze?’

FREE BUT MUST BE BOOKED
Brothers Jamie and Tommy share a small cottage in Enniskeel, Ireland, a fictional town on the cliffs of the Irish Sea. One morning, after a night of a severe lashing of rain, Jamie makes an astonishing declaration.
He announces that he is dead and, now, a ghost. With humour and pathos the brothers explore a trail of unexpressed love, grief, guilt, and forgiveness, and within everyday events and their nostalgic memories, which are as ordinary as all our memories, they discover the eternal exists in their fraternal bond. The play is part love story/part ghost story and should fuel speculation about what is real and what is imaginary.
