About Oisín Kearney, produced by Gina Donnelly, supported by Culture Ireland

Good With Faces is a taut new-writing thriller by Oisín Kearney, produced by Gina Donnelly and supported by Culture Ireland. Garrick has tidied her living room and put out the good biscuits — but social worker Hegarty is there to interrogate her about a mysterious bruise on her son. As power shifts and facades drop, it becomes clear that both women desperately need each other. The play is a complex interrogation of parenting, power and what it means to care, and runs for 60 minutes at TechCube 0.

Why see this show?

A two-hander structured like a chess match — each shift in power is deliberate, and neither character is quite who they first appear to be. Good With Faces is taut new writing that earns its thriller label without sacrificing emotional complexity.
