Everything Between Us
| March 11 – 20 The world premiere of Everything Between Us by David Ireland Directed by Kathleen Akerley and featuring Claire Lamont and Tara Lynne O'Neill. Sandra Richardson is preparing to take her seat on the first day of the new Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Northern Ireland when her long lost sister Teeni explodes into the chamber and assaults the South African chairwoman. To find out if this is a terrorist plot or just her sister’s way of announcing her return to Belfast, Sandra bundles Teeni into a disused room hidden along the corridors of power. With the world’s press and Stormont’s security officers waiting to invade, Sandra and Teeni must learn very quickly how to talk to each other. They need to relive the violence that shattered their family. But first they have to agree what the truth is. And who has the right to tell it. David Ireland’s darkly comic play about building peace in Northern Ireland is a brilliant exploration of why it’s taken us so long to hear each other’s truth. "This thing you’re doing. It’s a lie. It calls itself the truth but it’s a lie. I know lies. I grew up embedded with lies. I was nursed on lies. So I know lies. It has to stop." |  |
