in 2007 the northern ireland arts
council approached solas nua and 
tinderbox theatre company to 
co-produce owen mccafferty’s scenes
from the big picture for the 
rediscover northern ireland 
festival in conjunction with the 
smithsonian institute. this time 
they’ve brought the two companies 
together again for a co-commission 
which will tour the u.s. in march 
2010. 

sandra richardson is preparing to
take her seat on the first day of 
the new truth and reconciliation 
commission in northern ireland when
her long lost sister teeni explodes
into the chamber and assaults the 
south african chairwoman.

to find out if this is a terrorist
plot or just her sister’s way of 
announcing her return to belfast, 
sandra bundles teeni into a disused
room hidden along the corridors of 
power.

with the world’s press and 
stormont’s security officers 
waiting to invade, sandra and teeni
must learn very quickly how to talk
to each other. they need to relive 
the violence that shattered their 
family.  but first they have to 
agree what the truth is. and who
 has the right to tell it.

  david ireland’s darkly comic play
 about building peace in northern
 ireland is a brilliant exploration
 of why it’s taken us so long to 
hear each other’s truth.

 

"this thing you’re doing.  it’s a lie.  it calls itself the truth but it’s a lie. i know lies.  i grew up embedded with lies.  i was nursed on lies.  so i know lies. 

it has to stop."

everything between us
