Lies Where It Falls

In this compelling and moving solo play, Downton Abbey’s Ruairi Conaghan tells the story of the murder of a loved one and the lasting and unpredictable trauma that flowed from it. At a time when the violent legacies of Northern Ireland’s recent past have never been more important to talk about, this acclaimed show uses storytelling, song, poetry, humour, cinema and Shakespeare to tell this courageous, joyous, uplifting tale of recovery. Performed with raw, courageous, soul-bearing honesty. If we can find empathy, there is always hope.

One of Belfast Telegraph’s Top Ten Cultural Events in 2023.

Written and Performed by | Ruairi Conaghan

Directed By | Patrick O Kane

'Through this dramatic recollection, Conaghan finally finds reconciliation and a personal peace of some sort. It is emotional and moving. The piece is rendered with grace and perfect pacing. It deserves to be seen.'
