Glenmaddy Players
‘Stolen Child’
by Bairbre Ni Chaoimh & Yvonne Quinn
The play tells the story of a young Dublin woman’s journey to find her natural mother. She elicits the help of a private detective whose irreverent humour and hard-drinking lifestyle mask a deep understanding of human frailty. Parallel to her quest is the heartbreaking personal story of her mother’s upbringing by nuns in a 1940s orphanage in Cavan and the harsh facts surrounding the enforced adoption of her newborn baby.
