Book Synopsis

It was a terrible crossing. The worst yet. There weren''t enough boats. I had to stab my way up the gangplank. It was pitch black and the ferryman hadn''t an eye in his head.

In a house, a young mother watches over her sleeping baby. But in this dark and dangerously funny play, nothing is as it seems.

Audrey or Sorrow is a shape-shifting, time-bending deep dive into a world of unimaginable loss. It exemplifies Marina Carr''s work: storytelling that pushes the boundaries of love, power and desire.

Draw coal. Coal is a beautiful thing. Someday we''ll all be coal.

A Landmark Productions and Abbey Theatre co-production, it opened at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in February 2024.
