What Is the Play The Briar Patch About?
Dara has learnt to live with blank spaces in her memory; conversations that she can’t quite remember, and things that she thinks are hallucinations. But when a scandal shakes her community and a friend of the family is arrested on suspicion of a shocking crime, Dara is determined to ask the right questions… even if the answers turn her life upside down.
The Briar Patch comes to the Royal Court as a world premiere production, having previously been developed through the venue’s Genesis Next Generation Programme, and featured at the Open Submissions Festival.
