Aidan Mathews
A Fashionable Dublin suburb in the late 1990's.
A play about two brothers, one family and the many faiths which make up modern life. Jordan, the first-born, a trainee doctor, is bedbound and dying of a brain tumour; his younger brother, Marcus, brilliant and charismatic, has been a psychiatric patient. Around the deathbed gather their widowed mother, an ebullient Methodist neighbour, Marcus's Church of Ireland girlfriend, and a Roman Catholic priest returned from Rwanda to the blindcraft of a chaplaincy. The gloom of the sickroom is repeatedly dispelled by their lively altercations and plenty of gallows humour as this oddball synod doggedly praises God.
