1st year Play – ‘Bethal’
Inchicore College is delighted to present ‘Bethal’, by Fionntán Larney.
“A dark, small room. Hannah lies on a table, covered in sweat. Elijah is kneeling in front of her praying quietly. Philip is checking her pulse, her eyes, and other signs of life. The room is quiet. Elizabeth enters with water and a towel, which she rings out and places on Hannah’s face.”
This enthralling and moving play centres on group of young people living in a commune of sorts, and what happens when their notions of faith and humanity are challenged.
