The Play

Ruth, a thirty-something businesswoman, returns home to Northern Ireland from America where she has built a successful fashion business. But instead of the expected welcome, she finds her mother full of bitterness and anger; her grandmother on the brink of Alzheimers and her younger sister struggling to survive. Her arrival provokes instant strife, opening old scars and revealing incendiary secrets.

The Group

Newtownstewart Theatre Company has been on the circuit since 2015 and over the years have staged many productions including “Tea in a China Cup” “ The Hen Night Epiphany” Meeting at Menin Gate” “Sive” “Shoot the Crow” and most recently “Family Plot”.

Our most successful and noted show was last year’s play “Family Plot” that finished third in the All Ireland Confined Finals in Ballyshannon.

We hope to have further success with this year’s show “Midden” written by Morna Regan.
