Two sets of sisters meet in a Dublin café for what was expected to be a casual and friendly meeting. But suddenly, out of the blue, disturbing news emerges which shatters the atmosphere. And worse, the devastating detail will challenge their lives ever after. In heartfelt exchanges, which by turns is searing yet amazingly sensitive, the women at the heart of this drama display what it is to have immense courage and fortitude.

Starring Geraldine Plunkett, Deirdre Monaghan and Brenda Brooks, MADEIRA brings together three of Ireland’s premier actors in a new drama by Michael J. Harnett, creator of The Noble Call, Cloudspotter and Bullied. MADEIRA is deftly directed by IFTA nominated Vinnie McCabe who brings his unique dramatic sensitivity to a play which, at its heart, is a profound celebration of the love and loyalty between sisters.
