🎭 The Home Place – A Rarely Performed Friel Play in an Evocative Heritage Setting
📍 Sion Stables Heritage Education Centre, Sion Mills, Co. Tyrone
🗓️ August 23, 24 & 25, 2025 – 2:30pm daily
🎟️ Tickets: £25 / £20.05 (Concession) – Includes Hedge-School interval with tea & tray bake
Join us for Brian Friel’s last full-length play, presented as a site-specific performed reading in the heart of the historic linen village of Sion Mills. Set in 1878, The Home Place explores the fragile identity of the Anglo-Irish Big House tradition amid the rising tide of Irish nationalism and scientific colonialism.
Scheduled alongside Translations in Donegal, this Tyrone-based sister play brings Friel’s lifelong interrogation of language, belonging, and power full circle.
🎓 Enjoy a FREE Hedge-School interval between acts with traditional tea and tray bake in the beautiful grounds of Sion Stables.
💬 Featuring a talented cast under the direction of David Grant, this special community co-presentation is a rare chance to experience The Home Place close to Friel’s own birthplace of Killyclogher, in a setting that mirrors the very world of the play.
