The Brightening Air

You'll remember how much of living is really just forgetting.

The family home is more than a building. It's a destination of pilgrimage, an inherited investment, a repository of memory or magic. But for brother and sister Stephen and Billie, home is all they've got. Mucking along in their decaying farmhouse, they're doing just fine.

That is, until the arrival of an ex-clergyman uncle with an unscrupulous plan, a sister-in-law seeking a miracle, and a prodigal brother hell-bent on trouble...

Conor McPherson's play The Brightening Air is an entrancing tale of fate, family, and unseen forces in 1980s Ireland.
