Written by Tom Murphy
Directed by Padraic McIntyre
Bailegangaire tells the story of three women who are dependent on, and a war with, on another. Mommo, the dominating and tyrannical grandmother, is bed-ridden and attended by two long-suffering granddaughters. In her unfinished storytelling Mommo has the power to keep the sense of the past alive or finish the story and liberate both herself and her two granddaughters from the chaos and blight that hangs over them all.
