I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside Anne Le Marquand Hartigan

Originally written in the 1970s but resonating with relevance today, this lively tragi-comedy by an award winning Irish playwright reveals what it is to be old and vulnerable, frail but feisty. In a dreary, seaside care-home in 1970s Ireland, Eve and Francis's spirited friendship has made life worth living. Threatened with separation by their selfish families, Eve and Francis take matters into their own hands, with dramatic consequences... Anne Le Marquand Hartigan is an award winning playwright, poet and artist. Her work has been translated into several languages and adapted for music and opera.
