As part of The New Theatre’s New Writing Week 2027, we are delighted to welcome Rachel Mae Brady to present a reading of Bury The Wren.
Ana, an epigeneticist studying at Oxford, returns to Dublin, for the anniversary of her mother’s death. When her English fiancé arrives unannounced, time fractures and past visions and possible futures collide. Ana must decide whether to break the pattern of familial silence or inherit a life that doesn’t belong to her.
