The Veil
3 Male, 5 Female
Conor McPherson Price: $16.95
May 1822, rural Ireland ...
The defrocked Reverend Berkeley arrives at the crumbling former glory of Mount Prospect House to accompany seventeen year-old Hannah to England
She is to be married off to a Marquis in order to resolve the debts of her mother’s estate
However, compelled by the strange voices that haunt his beautiful young charge and a fascination with the psychic current that pervades the house, Berkeley proposes a séance, the consequences of which are catastrophic
Set around a haunted house hemmed in by a restive, starving populace, Conor McPherson’s new play weaves Ireland’s troubled colonial history into a transfixing story about the search for love, the transcendental and the circularity of time
A beautifully lyrical study of the existence of supernatural forces and the frailty of the human heart
"The finest dramatist of his generation" ~ Daily Telegraph
