The Gap Year

Clare McMahon

Overview

''They'll be digging us out of the turf in two hundred-years. Trying to figure out why three women in their sixties were camping in Donegal.''

Newly widowed Kate, childminder-in-chief Roisin and their best friend Oonagh have decided enough is enough. Life is too short, they're going to follow in their children's footsteps and take a Gap Year. Thailand? Europe? Down Under? No, they're visiting every county in Ireland, sure there's a few they've never even heard of! It's time for castles, co ee and craic as three women in their 60s go on the adventure of a lifetime.

This play is about new beginnings; that it's never too late to start again and the power of female friendship.
