Happiness Then

Starring Rachael Dowling (KIN) and Sorcha Furlong (Fair City)

Directed by Liam Halligan.

A riveting comedy drama delving into the relationship between two sisters, Bridget and Frances, who meet for the first time after their Mother’s death. Eternally at odds, they bicker as only sisters can over everything from the wine to the will!

Exploring the fallout of being left behind, loves and losses are examined and re-examined with acerbic wit and delicious put downs.

Can Bridget and Frances’ searching need for sisterly support help to mend their broken relationships, not only with each other but with their loved ones, before it’s too late?
