Event Description

UCD Dramsoc Presents: 'Sive' by John B. Keane 'Sive is a young and beautiful orphan who lives with her uncle Mike, his wife Mena and his mother Nanna. A local matchmaker wants Sive to marry a wealthy old man, and convinces her guardians to allow it. However, Sive is in love with a young man, Liam Scuab. Caught between her loyalty to her family and her love for Liam, Sive must make a choice that will change the fate of the Glavin family forever.' Set against the harsh poverty and difficult times of 1950s Ireland, 'Sive' caused considerable controversy on its debut in February 1959. CONTENT WARNING: This show deals with the theme of suicide.
