The Woolgatherer Cork Arts Theatre

This two-hander, from Orion Productions in association with Blue Moon Theatre Company, is a must-see for its excellent performances and thoroughly absorbing story-line.

Although not much happens in this quest for love by two lonely people, a world is conjured-up, private hurts surface, and the dynamic between the two characters makes for compelling viewing.

Rose (Sinéad O’Riordan) is delicate, neurotic, slow to trust, but naive enough to ask Cliff (Michael Hough), a trucker she has just met, to come to her bedsit.
