Druid presents in a co-production with Quinnipiac University Connecticut, NUI Galway, Lincoln Center Festival and Galway Arts Festival
Conversations on a Homecoming is set in the 1970s in County Galway in the West of Ireland.
It is Ireland in the 1970s and even the humblest of small-town pubs can be a magnet for dreamers. In the 60s, “The White House” pub was that magnet – for the more open-minded, hopeful and radical young people of the town.
Now in his 30s, and over a long drinking session on a winter’s evening, Michael – recently returned from New York after a ten year absence – has a reunion with old friends in that same pub “The White House”. He was the one member among them who got away to live the dream and now he’s back – more or less out of the blue.
Faced with the changes the years have wrought, they begin a process of self-discovery.
“Conversations on a Homecoming must be one of the most beguilingly modest titles ever dreamt up and for one of the mightiest plays.”
Dominic Dromgoole, Artistic Director, The Globe Theatre
