Party: Eden by Eugene O'Brien

Party: Eden by Eugene O'Brien

We've added one special extra date to our 2013 tour. Tickets are just €10 from the box office: 087-2761156 or [email protected]. It’s Saturday night in Edenderry and a lot is hanging on this weekend for Billy and Breda, married for seven years but not functioning as a family unit for some time. Billy is drinking in the Golf Club and plotting his seduction of young Imelda Egan. Back home, his neglected wife Breda plans her relaunch into the town’s monotonous social scene. Her big hope, now that she’s lost the weight, is that Billy and she will be a ‘proper married couple’ again. Sunday night is the big night.



In a series of monologues they recount the events of the weekend, his fueled by drink and fantasy, hers punctuated with her struggle to overcome battered self-esteem. As they bring us to the inevitable Sunday night dénouement, they introduce to the audience a succession of colourful characters, described in richly comic language in the Midlands vernacular.



Eden played to huge audiences in the Moat Theatre, Naas, in Feb 2013 and is competing in the RTE All-Ireland drama circuit.
