About the Tour

About the Play

Over a long drinking session in an East Galway pub a group of friends gather together after an absence of ten years. Faced with the changes the years have wrought, they begin a long process of self-discovery.

“The best theatre company in the land…Druid triumph yet again…a magic night of theatre,a thundering segment of true life” _{Irish Press}

“‘Conversations’ works like a dream and its freshness and sharpness and canny humour are a pure delight” _{New Galway Observer}
