REVIEWS

“This production with its strong ensemble work immerses audiences in a world like our own...”

Richard Wattenberg, The Oregonian
“Murphy’s capture of a female group dynamic is amazingly acute—and in this cultural moment, it has to be.”

A. L. Adams, Oregon Artswatch

ABOUT

In The Hen Night Epiphany, five Dublin women arrive at the site of a ruined hillside cottage to celebrate their friend Una’s “hen night” (aka bachelorette) party. What is supposed to be a booze-filled raucous campout gradually turns into something deeper and more serious. Alternately hilarious and deeply sad, The Hen Night Epiphany is a look at how things have and haven’t changed for women in Ireland today.
