Lines of Exile is a new full-length play that examines the parallels of two partitioned nations. Set in 1950 Lahore, Pakistan, during the final transfers of psychiatric patients following the Partition of India it follows the story of Bishan Singh, a man with schizophrenia, who struggles to comprehend why he is being uprooted and sent to a new facility in Amritsar — and why the country itself has been divided. His psychiatrist, Dr. Diarmaid Ó Flaithearta, tries to guide him through the confusion, even as he recognises echoes of his own homeland’s partition. Exploring mental health, displacement, and shared histories of colonial division, Lines of Exile bridges the emotional landscapes of Ireland and India, offering a deeply human perspective on trauma, care, and belonging.4th Feb 7pm
