“I bit into your heart and I chewed on it slowly like a connoisseur. I swallowed it. I remember thinking it was an especially small heart and easy to digest. But no matter what I did you wouldn’t die”

The English premiere of a multi-award-winning new play by David Ireland, Everything Between Us runs at the Finborough Theatre, playing nine performances, Sunday and Monday evenings and Tuesday matinees from Sunday, 30 April 2017 (Press Night: Monday, 1 May 2017 at 7.30pm).

It is Day One of the newly formed Truth and Reconciliation Commission for Northern Ireland at Stormont.

As Sandra Richardson prepares to take her seat on the Commission, her long lost sister Teeni explodes into the chamber, attacking the South African chairwoman, Dikeledi Mashiane. Is this part of a terrorist plot or just her sister’s way of announcing her return to Belfast? Deep in the heart of the Northern Irish Parliament, overshadowed by the legacy of hurt, Sandra and Teeni must fight through decades of violence, anger and denial to discover if reconciliation is possible on the pathway to peace.

Everything Between Us is a searing, taut and fast paced two-woman showdown; a dramatic, dark, unflinching comedy written by Northern Ireland’s boldest contemporary writer
