“I don’t know what’s beyond this minute. But whatever it is it can’t be worse than all the minutes that brought us here”.
Two sisters, one last drink. In the Irish border town of Newry, Chrissy promises her sister Claire that after four cans of lager she will go to the dry house to get sober. Does she mean it this time?
One woman’s refusal to give up on her sister powers The Dry House, an emotionally searing new family drama about love, loss and the possibility of hope after years of self-destruction.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London’s Marylebone Theatre in March 2023.
