SUMMARY:The Dowry
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 3rd to Saturday 6th June @ 8pm\nThe Dowry\nPresented by Lee Side Drama Group\nWritten by Derry Cotter\nDirected by John McCaffrey\n​In the heart of a rural Irish village in the mid-1950s\, the Barry family finds itself entangled in an intricate web of tradition\, societal expectations\, and familial duty. The Dowry unfolds within the confines of the Barry household’s kitchen\, a microcosm of the larger societal dynamics at play. The narrative delves into the complexities of land succession\, the plight of women in a patriarchal society\, and the omnipresent influence of the Catholic Church. \nThe play opens with Sheila Barry and her daughter Mary preparing food\, setting the stage for the return of Tom Barry\, the patriarch\, and John Joe Comerford\, the village matchmaker. The conversation quickly turns to Liam Barry\, the son\, whose prowess on the hurling field is a source of pride for the family. Yet\, beneath the surface of this seemingly idyllic rural life\, tensions simmer. The Barry family\, like many others\, is bound by the traditions of land inheritance\, where the farm is passed to the eldest son only upon the father’s death. \nThe play’s tension reaches a crescendo with the introduction of Sarah Burke\, Liam’s intended. Her presence in the Barry household is both a promise of continuity and a catalyst for conflict. The dowry negotiations\, orchestrated by John Joe Comerford\, become a battleground for control and legacy. Through a series of dramatic events\, including a contentious land sale\, the Barry family must confront their values and the future of their legacy. \nDuration: 2 hours\nAges: Suitable for all ages\nTrigger Warnings: None \nTicket Prices: €18\n*Booking fees apply. \nBOOK TICKETS
