The Memory Room is a haunting new play by acclaimed Wexford playwright Sheila Forsey in the 7th Eugene O’Neill International Festival of Theatre.
Starring the legendary Geraldine Plunkett — beloved for her iconic role as Mary McDermott-Moran in RTÉ’s Glenroe and acclaimed performances at the Abbey Theatre (The Plough and the Stars, Tarry Flynn, Tartuffe) — this powerful drama explores memory, truth, and the hidden stories of family life.
When Eileen (Plunkett) is moved into a nursing home after a fall, her grip on reality begins to fade. As old memories resurface, long-buried truths emerge — memories her son Joe believes are best left forgotten.
Featuring an exceptional cast that bridges Irish and international talent, The Memory Room promises to be a poignant centrepiece of the 2025 festival — a story of family, memory, and what happens when the past refuses to stay hidden.
