SUMMARY:Rehearsed Reading~Mothers Day and Significant Loss
DESCRIPTION:Rehearsed Reading Season\n2019/20\nAuditions\nfor\nMothers Day\nand\nSignificant Loss \n\n \nWritten by: Sarah Fahy\nDirector: Breege Fahy \nMother’s Day\nA mother with Alzheimer’s. A documentary of her life. A family bond. Three lives unwind. \nMother’s Day is a short play written by Sarah Fahy. It won Best Script at The Clairemorris Fringe Festival 2019\, where it was staged for the first time. It is set in Ireland in 1999/2000. The play explores the lives of three women\, Peggy a woman with early onset Alzheimer’s and her two daughters Marian and Karen. The play unfolds over the course of a few months where Karen sets out to make a documentary on her mother’s life and illness before her memory is lost. We see both the sadness and hilarity of the changes in Peggy as her Alzheimer’s takes hold and in turn how her daughters deal with the situation in very different ways. Their lives unravel before them as they navigate their mother’s memory\, all the while being documented on video. ‘Some things are better left unsaid’. \nCast \nGeraldine FitzGerald\, \nMary Conlon \nand \nCaomhe O’Leary. \n  \nSignificant Loss\nA slice of life. Two women in a weight loss group. An accidental friendship. \nSignificant Loss is a short play by Sarah Fahy. It has also been adapted into a short film which won The 57 Hour Film-making Challenge at The Offline Film Festival in Birr\, it was subsequently screened at The Galway Film Fleadh 2019.\nThis contemporary piece is a two hander. Geraldine and Jenny two women leading two very different lives are thrown together at a weight loss meeting\, the only thing in common their growing waistlines. Through weekly weigh-ins and counting calories these two women form an unexpected bond. This play is about human contact and not judging a book by its cover! \nCast \nMarguerite McCarthy\, \nCeline Lenihan \nand \nJane Baird. \nBio\nSarah Fahy \nCraughwell native Sarah Fahy is a writer\, director and actress. \nHer poetry has been published and won awards locally.
