DENOUEMENT
By JOHN MORTON
June 4 – 20, 2027
North American Premiere Production
As the world approaches its final hour, a couple married for nearly four decades must confront the truths and lies of a lifetime together.
What’s left to say at the end?
Set in Ireland in 2048, Denouement by John Morton unfolds in the final hour before the world ends. Edel and Liam have been married for 37 years and now live alone in a remote farmhouse at the foot of a mountain. With their children long gone and time running out, they spend their last moments saying goodbye to old friends, former lovers, and to the lives they once imagined. As memories surface and old grievances return, love, resentment, humor, and tenderness collide in a darkly funny, deeply human portrait of a marriage facing its ultimate ending.
