Local Tipperary drama group set to stage thrilling drama in local Tipperary arts centre

Thurles Drama Group promise another hit with their spring offering ‘Rathmines Road’.

The show runs from Sunday, February 16 to Friday, February 21, starting at 8pm each night.

Tickets for the shows cost €18.

The action rages over one evening in a family sitting room.

The play challenges the cultural responses society makes to an accusation of sexual assault.

It is a story about one woman’s dilemma in coming forward.

Back in the family home to oversee its sale with her husband Ray, Sandra collides with her shocking past.

Her predicament is whether she should publicly reveal her trauma when she comes face to face with her attacker from twenty-five years ago, or continue to hold on to her secret suffering?

If she confronts Eddie in her late parent’s house, what will be the consequences for her, her marriage, her family?

Sandra’s story testifies to the pain of carrying the memory of sexual assault throughout a lifetime.

Bristling with tension, Rathmines Road unleashes a brutal truth that affects us all.

It is a play that asks: when and how do we take responsibility?
