Charlie Murphy: Enjoying dark days on stage and screen
CHARLIE Murphy has a strange few weeks ahead. While half the nation will be talking about the actions of her character Siobhán in Love/Hate, which returns to our screens on October 5, the Wexford actress has to insulate herself somewhat from the discussion as she takes to stage in Mark O’Rowe’s new play, Our Few and Evil Days.
The Abbey Theatre production boasts a stellar cast that also includes Sinead Cusack, Ciarán Hinds and Murphy’s Love/Hate co-star Tom ‘Nidge’ Vaughan-Lawlor. Murphy plays a young woman who brings a new boyfriend home to meet her parents, a move that destructively prises open a dark and secreted history in the family.
