Sinopse

Freya's always been sensitive. Difficult, some say. Funny how those words have started to mean the same thing.
It's September 2018, and everyone's living in a new, more inclusive Ireland after two referendums and one hot summer. We're all redefining ourselves. And so is Freya. She got dumped. But when her ex shows up at her parents' door along with unexpected news, it feels like anything is possible again. Can sensitive, difficult Freya learn to see herself anew?
The personal becomes political in David Horan's funny and fascinating play exploring identity and family. Sandpaper on Sunburn was first performed at Smock Alley Theatre in 2024 as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival.
Disponível desde: 03/10/2024.

    The last place Angelina Moltisanti ever wants to go is home. She barely escaped life under the roof, and the thumb, of her violent but charismatic father, Jack. Yet home is exactly where she ends up after an SUV plows into her car just weeks after she graduates from college, fracturing her wrist and her hopes to start a career as an artist.Angelina finds herself smothered in a plaster cast, in Jack's obsessive urge to get her a giant accident settlement, in her mother Marie's desperation to have a second chance, and in her own stifled creativity - until she meets Janet, another young artist who inspires her to push herself into making the dynamic, unsettling work that tells the story of her scars, inside and out. But excavating this damage, as relations with her father become increasingly tense, will push Angelina into making a hard choice: will she embrace her father's all-consuming and empowering rage, or find another kind of strength?

    Owen Doyle's rough beginnings taught him not to form attachments, yet he's drawn to Tyler Booth like a magnet. Their relationship has blossomed from strangers to the best friends, with each twist in the journey weaving their connection tighter. But Owen has a six-year secret that's become unbearably painful to keep. As the seams of his resistance fray, Owen will lean into a new mentoring opportunity to keep from ruining the best thing in his life. 
     
     
     
    Tyler will never regret going to jail and getting sober because meeting Owen saved his life and taught him how to trust again. Their inseparable bond has earned much teasing over the years, but Tyler doesn't recognize himself without Owen. When he senses a yawning chasm between them, he'll turn to mutual friends for help. Their well-meaning advice opens Tyler's eyes to unexplored possibilities and will snap missing puzzle pieces into place. 
     
     
     
    Some hopes are too big to stifle, and some truths are too big to ignore. A photo booth, smoking-hot kisses, and honest revelations will take Owen and Tyler's intimacy to a new level. But before they can achieve their happily ever after, they must unload the baggage from their pasts.

    Tony’s quiet life with his partner in San Francisco is disrupted when an old medical folder is delivered from Argentina. Then, an email arrives. It’s Izzy, an estranged niece in Patagonia. She has news of her father’s death and questions Tony's absence. Tony is discovering that much of what he knows about his family is built on lies. Izzy's email demands a response, and the folder demands the truth. He spent years speaking for the dead as a journalist during Argentina's Dirty War, then traveling the world as a DNA specialist, but it was always someone else’s family. He sifts through his memories and begins typing the family saga to his niece. Tony taps a story about his immigrant family who settled in the bucolic Patagonian valley. A story that eventually moves to the war-time streets of Buenos Aires. 
    The Letters is a historical novel but it's more than a family saga. It’s a cautionary tale about populist politics that turn authoritarian. They preached God, family, and property while escalating struggles around race, class, and sexual identity. And, The Letters is about the secrets we keep.

    I never meant for any of this to happen, to fall for you. It doesn't matter that we're both adults, or how much we want this to work. The college policy is clear. I can't see a way around this without one of us getting hurt. If I would've known who you were when we met online, I would have never pursued a relationship. I'm new to all of this, and besides my daughter, getting to know you has been the best thing to ever happen to me. But I can't make you hide again. I won't. It's not fair to either of us.

    You're right, we are adults. I'm twenty-four years old, and I think I can decide for myself what's best for me. If this is about you losing your job, I'll walk away. But if this is you trying to protect me, then you're an idiot. I want you. I care about you. My past isn't an issue. What we're doing . . . it isn't the same thing. If we have to hide, so be it. I'm not ready to let you go.
