Solas Nua: GOOD WITH FACES by Oisín Kearney

Solas Nua presents the US premiere of Oisín Kearney's taut psychological thriller Good With Faces, a gripping exploration of power, parenting, and the fragile truths that bind a mother and a social worker. The drama unfolds in Garrick's tidy living room, where she has even set out good biscuits, but the visit from social worker Hegarty is anything but friendly. Hegarty is there to investigate a mysterious bruise on Garrick's son, questioning whether she is fit to care for him. As the interrogation deepens, the lines between accuser and accused blur, revealing how desperately both women need each other. The play unpacks themes of control, hidden motives, and the complicated nature of care, leaving the audience to decide who is telling the truth.
