THE STORY: Beautiful and blessed with a wealthy, adoring husband and three young sons, Portia Coughlan would seem to have it all, but grief over the drowning of her twin brother, Gabriel, fifteen years ago in the Belmont River continues to torment
I think this play would be appropriate to be produced and performed. This play has a raw edge that many plays don't have. The character of Prix comes across as a tough female teenager. Her mother's boyfriend molested her when she was young. Her mother acted more like Helen Keller and ignored the truth. Prix's life is in the urban city of New York where she is a tough gang member who ends up in prison. The play moves quickly and the dialogue is contemporary without too much profanity. This play should be produced more whether locally, regionally, or in colleges across the country. I think this play is relevant now more than ever. It's a shame that it's not heard of more in the first place.
Excellent Play

A haunting and twisted drama set in modern day Ireland that throws the audience in the life of a close, dysfunctional family as they struggle w/ the the tragedies of life. I HIGHLY recommend it to any "twin" or those interested in bizarre familial relationships.
