An Seanchai performs The Towpath by Robert Iles.
This four-woman play unfolds as Anne becomes the focal point for a diverse and evolving group of strangers. Each individual arrives with a distinct problem to be solved. Through their interactions, the play delves into themes of friendship, resilience, and the transformative power of storytelling, revealing how the act of sharing one’s burdens can foster understanding and connection among those we've just met.
