Four time Fringe First and Olivier Award winning Fishamble present HEAVEN by Eugene O’Brien. HEAVEN is set in the Irish midlands, during the weekend of a local wedding. Mairead and Mal are struggling to keep their marriage together. Perhaps attending a wedding will help, or it might raise questions that are difficult to answer. This poignant, funny, beautiful play is full of humanity. HEAVEN is directed by Jim Culleton (Irish Times Best Director Award winner) and performed by Andrew Bennett (Oscar-nominated The Quiet Girl) and Janet Moran (Irish Times Best Actress winner for HEAVEN). Winner of the Irish Times Award for Best New Play. HEAVEN was a hit at Dublin Theatre Festival 2022, Off-Broadway in 2023, and Edinburgh in 2023, where it won a Scotsman Fringe First Award.
