Moment

A U.S. Premiere
By Dierdre Kinahan, Directed by Jonathan Berry

On a seemingly ordinary evening an Irish family sits down to tea. The difference tonight is that Nial is home — back from prison having committed a dark crime many years earlier with some news to share and a conscience to clear. Fast, witty and frighteningly real, Moment takes you on a journey through trauma wrapped up in tablecloths and teacake.
