Dream of Autumn by Norwegian playwright by Jon Fosse. As dark autumn closes in, a man and a woman meet in a graveyard and reignite a reckless affair. Nearby his parents await the burial of a loved-one. But has he not already abandoned his family? Has she not always been alone? And what responsibility do they really owe to the living?
Written by one of Europe’s leading playwrights, Jon Fosse’s lyrical and erotic drama provides urgent testimony to the fact that our loves and lives will be the death of us all.
Rough Magic’s English language première of Dream of Autumn presents Irish audiences with a rare opportunity to savour the work of one of the leading voices in contemporary world theatre.
