Conservatory

<i>'I wasn't throwing up. I was dying. I was very ill . . . And do you know what? In the middle of all that . . . malaise I remember thinking This is what it's like to be married. But I'd do it again'</i><br/><br/>An elderly couple sit in a dark room in their house doing the crossword taking their tablets and knitting all the while raking over a traumatic past that has all but destroyed them.<br/><br/><i>Conservatory </i>is a compelling play about loss and family which shows that happiness is not a necessary condition of togetherness. It premiered at the Abbey Theatre Dublin in March 2014.
