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

'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.'
