Borrowed Robes

Work:: Borrowed Robes (S02016011956)

This dark, unnerving play is set against the background of events which became known as the 'Limmerick Pogrom'. The year is 1904, and a Jewish woman takes in a young, disaffected seminarian as a lodger. Before long, Father Keane comes knocking on the door with much more in his heart than simply concern for his priest.. 'Borrowed Robes' was first staged in 1998 to great acclaim, receiving a Best Actor nomination in the Irish Theatre Awards for John Murphy in the role of Father Keane.
