As The Saviour opens, Máire Sullivan sits in bed the morning of her 70th birthday, savoring a cigarette. Widowed after being married for 42 years, she has just fallen passionately in love with a relative stranger and feels more alive than she has for as long as she can remember. Her euphoria is short-lived, however, when a surprise visit from her son brings an unwelcome revelation that threatens to cut her newly discovered happiness short.

Irish playwright Deirdre Kinahan’s brilliant new play uses wit and humor to track a radical shift in Ireland’s political, social and religious life.

This fascinating one-act 2-hander stars Eden Lee Murray, one of Hawaii’s best-known actors, winner of 16 Po`okela Awards, and Chris Jaymes, the LA/NYC professional actor with whom she performed another brilliant 2-hander, Constellations, for KOA in 2022.
