Druid presents in a co-production with Quinnipiac University Connecticut, NUI Galway, Lincoln Center Festival and Galway Arts Festival
A Whistle in the Dark is set in 1960 in Coventry, England.
It’s 1960 and Michael Carney is an Irish emigrant living in Coventry, England with his wife, Betty whom he has recently married. At Michael’s request they have been playing host for some time to his brothers, Harry, Iggy and Hugo. However, while Michael can lay fair claim to having integrated well into English society, the same can’t be said of his brothers.
Now the imminent arrival from Ireland of his father and younger brother, cause tensions to boil over.
“A Whistle in the Dark… is naked, immediate and terrifying…”
Kenneth Tynan
