Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub
claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer
becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man
unexpectedly arrives on the scene…
Filmed live on stage at the
National Theatre, Caitríona McLaughlin directs this darkly funny tale full to
the brim with secrets.
