1963. A Penitent Magdalen Laundry in the fictional area of Killmacha, Ireland. A new era is dawning: attitudes are changing in and around the second Vatican Council and outside, society is becoming more influenced by rock n’ roll each day. These two wholly opposing worlds should never meet, especially in Catholic Ireland.
First staged in 1992, Patricia Burke Brogan’s debut play was one of the first dramas to show the real life plight of the women incarcerated inside Ireland’s Magdalen Laundries. In a new Off West End revival, tragedy and hilarity in equal measure draws the audience deep into the world of Eclipsed with little chance of escape.
