“This challenging story is complemented by the haunting sounds created by HK Ní Shioradáin. It adds to the sense of being alone, which both Dawn and Robin are experiencing.” -No More Workhorse
‘HK Ní Shioradáin’s sound design is realistic, making the performance even more enticing and aiding the spectators imagination in building this wide world.’ – The Reviews Hub
Musician, Robin journeys home late from gigs each night. He drives through the wild terrain of the West Kerry mountains, arriving home as dawn is breaking, and Dawn his wife, is beginning her day. After twenty years of marriage, they are ships passing in the night. But when Dawn awakes one morning to find Robin deeply shaken, they are left with no choice but to communicate.
Will what he just encountered on the dark mountain road haunt him further, or could it be the awakening they both so desperately need?
Funny, moving and spiritual, Robin and Dawn is a beautiful and lyrical new play from the pen of Michael Hilliard Mulcahy, directed by Pádraic McIntyre, sound designed and composed by HK Ní Shioradáin.
