True Believers

By Joseph O'Connor
​

​Through a series of interconnecting monologues, a mother and son remember the break-up of a marriage in the 1970’s and share their haunted memories of its effect on the people involved. Loosely based on the short story collection of the same name, True Believers is an exploration of loss and growing up in an Irish family.
