Unravel the Ribbon in Solstice Theatre
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Dublin based theatre company, Gúna Nua, is embarking on a nationwide tour with the critically acclaimed 'Unravelling The Ribbon", co-written by Mary Kelly and Maureen White. The play, which received rave reviews when it premiered last year in Dublin, tours to over 13 venues across Ireland. 'Unravelling The Ribbon" tells the funny and touching story of Lola, Rose and Lyndsey and the impact breast cancer has made on their lives. Lola is fifty and wants to sell her home. Nobody ever calls and she has stopped opening her post. Rose is thirty-four and lives on a farm with her husband and two children. She worries she may have married too young. Lyndsey is eleven and her best friend has stopped sitting beside her in art class. When breast cancer touches their lives, everything starts to unravel Rose"s marriage falls apart, Lola gets arrested and Lyndsey hides a cooked ham in a thorn bush. We witness how these women interact, separate and come together in a moving tale of friendship and survival. 'Unravelling The Ribbon" is directed by Maureen White. The cast features Ruth Hegarty as Lola, Janet Moran as Rose and Jennifer Laverty as Lyndsey. Lighting design is by Eamonn Fox, set and costume design is by Liz Cullinane. 'Unravelling The Ribbon" nationwide tour is made possible, in part, with the support of BreastCheck.
