Lies Where it Falls (Out to Lunch).

about

Written and performed by Ruairi Conaghan.

In this compelling and moving solo play, Downton Abbey’s Ruairi Conaghan tells the story of the murder of a loved one and the lasting and unpredictable trauma that flowed from it.

At a time when the violent legacies of Northern Ireland’s recent past have never been more important to talk about, this acclaimed show uses storytelling, song, poetry, humour, cinema and Shakespeare to tell this courageous, joyous, uplifting tale of recovery.

Performed with raw, courageous, soul-bearing honesty. If we can find empathy, there is always hope.
