This play was commissioned and developed during the SEEDS new writing project, a joint initiative between Rough Magic Theatre Company and the Dublin Fringe Festival.
Bren works nights as a security guard. He likes to spend his days alone with his computer. A visit from his middle brother, Andy, is clearly unwelcome, the more so as he brings news that their father and younger brother, Kev, are also on their way. Eddie, the father, is hell bent on persuading his three sons to visit their mother, who may or may not be in hospital, who may or may not even still live in the same house as Eddie. As the wrangling continues, each one's true circumstances become ever more vague. Where precisely are Andy's wife and child? And does Kev really have that whizzy job in IT? And what is going on with their mother? Take me Away is a dark comedy about a disintegrating family.
