This November, Barnstorm Theatre Company brings the acclaimed Irish classic Sive by John B. Keane to the stage of Watergate Theatre, promising a powerful theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.

Set against the backdrop of rural Ireland, John B. Keane’s masterpiece, Sive, tells a searing tale of greed, manipulation, and the clash between tradition and the dreams of youth. Sive, a vulnerable young girl, finds herself at the heart of a spiraling family drama when a matchmaker and scheming relatives arrange her marriage to an elderly man, against her wishes. This poignant play explores themes of autonomy, love, and societal pressure, offering a gripping narrative that resonates with contemporary audiences.
