Some family secrets ache to be unearthed! Then again, some are too hellish to warrant it.

Set against a backdrop of the rural midlands of Ireland, Marina Carr's acclaimed play brings to light a story of three generations, blighted by relations that descend far beyond the realms of normality.

Marina Carr's best-knows works include Portia Coughlin, By The Bog of Cats, Ariel and most recently Woman & Scarecrow.

On Raftery's Hill was originally commissioned for Ireland's Druid Theatre and co-produced by Druid and the Royal Court Theatre. It premiered in Galway in 2000.

Liisa Smith has completed an MA in Text & Performance at RADA specialising in directing. Co-founder of StageSpell Theatre Company, her previous credits include an open-air production of The Dark Lady of the Sonnets in Estonia, and a widely-acclaimed production of The Highway Crossing at the Blue Elephant Theatre and The Arcola in June- July 2006, which won the Time Out critics' choice award as well as high praise from the national press.
