As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Dublin-based theatre company, Gúna Nua is embarking on a nationwide tour with the critically acclaimed Unravelling the Ribbon co-written by Mary Kelly and Maureen White. The play, which received rave reviews when it premiered last year in Dublin, tours to over 13 venues across Ireland including the Dean Crowe in Athlone on Friday October 3.
Unravelling the Ribbon tells the funny and touching story of Lola, Rose, and Lyndsey and the impact breast cancer has made on their lives. Lola is 50 and wants to sell her home. Nobody ever calls and she has stopped opening her post. Rose is 34 and lives on a farm with her husband and two children. She worries she may have married too young. Lyndsey is 11 and her best friend has stopped sitting beside her in art class.
When breast cancer touches their lives, everything starts to unravel – Rose’s marriage falls apart, Lola gets arrested, and Lyndsey hides a cooked ham in a thorn bush. We witness how these women interact, separate, and come together in a moving tale of friendship and survival.
Unravelling the Ribbon is directed by Maureen White. The cast features Ruth Hegarty as Lola, Janet Moran as Rose, and Jennifer Laverty as Lyndsey The Ribbon:
