Death and Nightingales is a ‘riveting story of love, betrayal, deception and revenge’ set in Fermanagh in 1885. It is adapted from Eugene McCabe’s modern Irish classic novel Death and Nightingales from 1992.
Set over a desperately tense 24-hour period, it’s Beth Winters’ 23rd birthday – the day she has decided to join the charming Liam Ward and escape from her limited life and difficult and complex relationship with her Protestant landowner stepfather Billy.
As decades of pain and betrayal finally build to a devastating climax, Death And Nightingales is a powerful and gripping drama that follows a woman struggling to control her own destiny and will illuminate tensions that tear both families and nations apart.
