Meredith (Gate Theatre)

"Why must the words vulnerable and old always go together?” Set against the backdrop of a single Sunday afternoon in County Meath, Meredith is a darkly comedic drama that peels back the layers of a family held together by secrets, shared history, and a stubborn refusal to age gracefully.

About: Meredith’s daughter, Noelle, attempts to manage her mother’s recovery with rigid rules and downstairs beds, Meredith is busy exploring the world of online dating, lending money to mysterious men and striking up a flirtatious “friendship” with her eccentric new neighbour, Terry. The arrival of Meredith’s grandson Lorcan, who is under a self-imposed “house arrest” after his own run-in with trouble sets off chain reaction of revelations. As the sun sets, the family must confront a series of crises, from cyber-scams and drug debts to long-buried grievances about a mother who once walked away. Meredith is written by Erica Murray and directed by Annabelle Comyn as part of Dublin Theatre Festival.
