Description

Portia Coughlan by Marina Carr A haunting and devastating play about life in monstrous limbo. Portia Coughlan lives with a deep sense of longing, haunted by her spectral twin brother and struggling to find love and connection in her marriage and family. Her search for solace leads her down a path of soulless affairs, but the cost is unknown. Premiering at the Abbey Theatre's Peacock Stage in Dublin in 1996, Portia Coughlan transferred to the Royal Court Theatre in London later that year. The play was revived at the Almeida Theatre in London in October 2023. Carr's writing is marked by its physicality and emotional depth, capturing the cycles of life with unflinching honesty. A powerful exploration of human existence, Portia Coughlan is a taut and haunting work that explores the inner tragedy of existence through the female experience.
