Everybody in This House

Everybodyinthishouse

Everybody In This House is about a family wrecked by violence and the crisis of faith that follows.

Father O’Donnell turns a deaf ear to Mary Turner’s pleas about her marriage. Several weeks later, she is dead. What happened to Mary Turner? Is Father O’Donnell responsible in some way?

The Priest soothes his own conscience by visiting the family, only to have his fears justified. He finds the reality of domestic violence, and confronts his own powerlessness in the face of evil.

Reviewed by The Stage (Edinburgh, Scotland), this play was called "superbly written" and "totally uncompromising".

One act play. 3 males/3 females.

A copy can be purchased through Original Works.
