Longford theatre prepares for the arrival of 'The Loved Ones'

The Loved Ones

After earning critical acclaim at its world premiere at the Gate Theatre during the 2023 Dublin Theatre Festival, Erica Murray’s The Loved Ones arrives at Backstage as part of its national tour.

In a remote farmhouse, Nell prepares to scatter her son’s ashes with her grieving daughter-in-law, while a visitor settles in for an idyllic break in the wilds of West Clare.

However, their weekend plans will be disrupted when an unexpected guest arrives looking for shelter, solace and understanding.
