THEATRE: Title and Deed

Gare St Lazare Players Ireland are moving online this Saturday and Sunday. Title and Deed is written by Will Eno, directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett and performed by Conor Lovett. A nameless traveller from a far off place searches for connection and solace in an unknown country in this funny and sad meditation on mortality, loneliness, innocence, home, family, love, funerals, words, and the world. Quality theatre from the comfort of your couch.
