Little Gem by Elaine Murphy

A year in the lives of three generations of Dublin women, exploring love, sex, birth, death, and salsa classes through moving and often hilarious monologues.

Amber, fresh out of school, is high on life, double sambucas, and boyfriend Paul - until fierce indigestion strikes.

Feisty, mouthy, but vulnerable, Lorraine, her mum, attacks a customer and is sent to therapy, where she takes up salsa while searching for a better life and the right man.

Kay, in her sixties, struggles with her ailing husband and family responsibilities.

As the year unfolds, they face challenges with humour, finding strength in one another.This amateur production of Little Gem is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
