The Beacon

Nancy Harris

A mysterious accident. A dead husband. People are talking. Secrets are resurfacing from the depths. Is the past ever truly dead?

Beiv, a celebrated artist, has moved from suburban Dublin to her holiday cottage on an island off the coast of West Cork. But a dark shadow from the past hangs over her. When her estranged son and his new young wife arrive to stay, she is faced with some difficult questions.

Nancy Harris’s play The Beacon was premiered at the Town Hall Theatre, Galway, in September 2019 before transferring to the Gate Theatre, Dublin, as part of the 2019 Dublin Theatre Festival, in a co-production between Druid and the Gate, directed by Garry Hynes.

‘Teasingly clever… Using elements of a murder mystery, Harris probes into secrets and lies, making acute observations about complex relationships’
- Guardian

‘Absorbing, intelligent and grimly funny’
- Irish Times

‘Sharp as a stiletto’
