About The Saviour

There’s a new man in Máire’s life. But some people aren’t happy.

On the morning of her 67th birthday, Máire sits up in bed enjoying a cigarette. She has recently been swept off her feet by a stranger and hasn’t felt this alive in years, but a visit from her son with dark revelations challenges the euphoria.

Deirdre Kinahan’s fiercely funny and utterly gripping new play charts an extraordinary shift in Ireland’s social, political, and religious life. It asks questions about responsibility, how we respond to trauma, and the tricky question of forgiveness.

It stars legendary Irish actress Marie Mullen (The Music Man, Broadway; The Beauty Queen of Leenane, Druid, for which she won a Tony Award) in a tour-de-force performance. She is joined by Jamie O’Neill in this riveting two-hander directed by one of Ireland’s leading theatre directors, Louise Lowe.

The Saviour was first broadcast online in 2021 and makes its world stage premiere at the Irish Rep this summer.

Don’t see it if Amplification would have worked well in the rear of the theater during the softer dialogue moments.

Thought-provoking, Intense, Great writing, Great staging, Great acting

See it if The very well-acted & well-staged play humanizes the victims &the perpetrator of a horrible crime while seamlessly mixing humor and tragedy.

Don’t see it if CSE hits home. A wordy play, not always easy to follow. The intense subject- matter may ignite opposite PsOV, which I totally respect.
