Overview

“They’ll be digging us out of the turf in two hundred years, trying to figure out why three women in their sixties were camping in Donegal.”

Newly widowed Kate, childminder-in-chief Roisin and their best friend Oonagh have decided enough is enough. Life is too short – they're going to follow in their children’s footsteps and take a Gap Year. Thailand? Europe? Down Under? No, they’re visiting every county in Ireland, sure there’s a few they’ve never even heard of! It's time for castles, coffee and craic as three women in their 60s go on the adventure of a lifetime.

This play is about new beginnings, that it’s never too late to start again, and the power of female friendship.
