Over one night, the lives of 15 women collide in Deirdre Kinahan's new version of Michel Tremblay's fêted “Quebecois” comedy, Les Belles-Soeurs.
Premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in February 2018.

"'Lays bare a heartlessness at the heart of the so called salt of the earth... extremely enjoyable'"
The Arts Review
"'Exploding the myth that tight-knit, working-class communities are female sanctuaries, this play does for Dublin Corporation flats of the 1970s what John B Keane did for 1950s rural Ireland: exposing a greedy, judgmental cruelty at odds with misty-eyed nostalgia'"
The Times
"'A rollicking free-for-all... One million Green Shield stamps. Fifteen delightful characters. 130 minutes of rib-tickling comedy... an absolute joy'"
