STELLA BY STARLIGHT

This play explores a night in the life of a contemporary Irish couple Dermot (a downsized corporate employee) and Stella (a former bank teller) who, with their teenage daughter Tara, have swapped the city for a life in the remote Irish countryside. We take a look at astronomy obsessed Dermot's preparations for photographing a comet about to crash into Jupiter; whiny Tara's plans to go to her Debutante Ball with a wonderfully unusual escort and the overnight visit of a devious married couple from the big city.
