THEATRE: Never Closer - Underground Theatre Company

Title: Never Closer

Presented By: Underground Theatre Company

Genre: Drama / Contemporary Theatre

Synopsis: Northern Ireland, 1987. Deirdre is stuck between arguments, nations and the lives she almost lived. When her old schoolfriends gather in her kitchen on Christmas Eve, their growing differences begin to surface, creating a powder-keg waiting for the smallest spark. Then one friend arrives with her surprise fiancé.

He’s English. Set against the backdrop of The Troubles, Never Closer is a powerful drama about home, friendship, the choice to leave or stay, and what happens when the past looms so large that it threatens to consume the present.
