About the play

Ana, an epigeneticist studying at Oxford, comes home to Dublin for the anniversary of her mother's death. Her English fiancé arrives unannounced, time fractures, and past visions collide with possible futures. The question the play leaves her with: break the pattern of familial silence, or inherit a life that doesn't belong to her.
