A Storm Brews on the Irish Coast: About Reunion
Set on a remote island off the wild west coast of Ireland, Reunion brings a fractured family back together under one roof just as a fierce storm begins to roll in. What starts as a seemingly heartfelt gathering soon spirals into a tense, emotionally charged 24-hour whirlwind when an unexpected guest arrives, shaking the fragile peace. As long-buried secrets emerge and old wounds reopen, the truth threatens to tear them apart.
This isn’t just a play; it’s a profound exploration of family dynamics, identity, and the haunting legacy of silence, all set against the dramatic, elemental backdrop of the Irish Atlantic. It’s a powerful blend of biting humour, raw heartache, and unavoidable confrontation that promises to be an unforgettable night at the theatre.
Critically Acclaimed & Visionary: Behind the Scenes
Reunion arrives in London following a hugely successful and critically lauded world premiere at the prestigious Galway International Arts Festival in 2024. Learn more about the Galway International Arts Festival and its programme. The play was immediately hailed as a “masterclass” (The Arts Review), “a joy to watch” (The Irish Times), and “a thundering cracker of pure entertainment” (Sunday Independent), with its intricate plotting and compelling performances earning widespread praise.
The play is both written and directed by the highly acclaimed Irish playwright and filmmaker Mark O’Rowe. Known for his intense, visceral, and often darkly humorous plays (such as Terminus and Our Few and Evil Days), O’Rowe has a distinctive voice that delves deep into the complexities of human relationships and the secrets that bind and break families. His dual role as writer and director ensures a singular, powerful vision for this production. Discover more about Mark O’Rowe’s acclaimed body of work.

Located in Kilburn, it has a strong reputation for producing contemporary drama and championing diverse voices and international work, making it a fitting home for a critically acclaimed Irish play like Reunion.
