“A strange meeting of the sublime with the savage, a story that pits the recent with the distant past, Deirdre Unforgiven tells its tale with genuine passion, finding in the music of overwhelming loss and grief a courage that comes only from the most urgent need to say what has to be said. A play carved deeply on finest granite, wasting not a word, in deep command of itself.”

“"Deirdre Unforgiven is a work that is at once subjective and universal... the tremendous passion of the age-old theme is powerfully evoked."
