Heaven
Heaven by Eugene O’Brien follows Mal and Mairead, a middle-aged couple returning to Mairead’s hometown for a family wedding. Over the course of one weekend, they find themselves surrounded by memories, old friends, familiar places and the ghosts of their past.
As they drink, dance and reminisce, their story moves between the funny and the deeply emotional, revealing the cracks beneath a long-shared life. What starts as a simple trip home becomes a moment of reckoning – about love, aging, compromise and the choices that quietly shape a life together over time.
Heaven captures the intimacy and complexity of long relationships — full of warmth, regret, tenderness and small moments of grace. It’s a play about ordinary people trying to make sense of where they’ve come from and where they’re going, finding something close to redemption in the process.
Heaven won the Irish Times Award for Best New Play in 2022.
