Saturday Night Radio Drama - Dermot Bolger - Morning Coffee

 Morning Coffee

 

Morning Coffee by Dermot Bolger directed by Eithne Hand

A stranger from the past drives into the yard of on an elderly couple. Is this seemingly benign intrusion the action of a man seeking to make atonement and bring justice, or wreak havoc on the lives of the couple?"

Morning Coffee is a play that is either about a man refusing to accept any status of victimhood or else about a man so traumatised by childhood events that he cannot admit them into his present life, even if they have shaped his life. It is about a perpetrator who has slowly come to understand the implications of his actions and now feels a need to be shamed and published in old age. It is about an elderly couple who, after decades of loneliness, have found each other and built a small republic of love where they are determined that whatever secrets they share will go with them to the grave.

Starring Donncha Crowley, Tatiana Ouliankina, Helen Roche and Eamon Morrissey
