Our Lady of Sligo

The 1998 Evening Standard, Critics Circle and Olivier Award Winner for Best Actress, Sinead Cusack reprises her acclaimed performance in the American premiere of Sebastian Barry’s Our Lady of Sligo. Directed by Max Stafford-Clark, this play tells the compelling tale of Mai O’Hara (Cusack) and her flamboyant but destructive relationship with her husband Jack, daughter Joanie, and the lost country of her childhood. Fueled by alcohol, passion, and despair, this is the story of a certain class in Ireland that expected more than it got from independence and self-rule.
