Limbo
Citizens Company
A young girl gives her confession from the edge of a lake, and talks about a relationship with a man twice her age. And of a boy she could have fallen in love with.
This tender and compelling story of a young girl’s relationship with an older man is at once uplifting and heartbreaking. Limbo reminds us just how much power even the most fleeting relationships can have to completely change our lives.
As the darkness of the lake calls out to her, she will do anything to find her peace.
Emerging new directing talent Richard Lavery directs Lynn Kennedy (Citizens Actor Intern) is this captivating short play by Declan Feenan.
