Heaven is set in the Irish midlands, during the weekend of a local wedding.

Mairead and Mal are struggling to keep their marriage together. Perhaps attending a wedding will help, or it might raise questions that are difficult to answer. This poignant, funny, beautiful, new play set over the weekend of a local wedding is full of humanity.

Directed by Jim Culleton (Irish Times Best Director Award winner 2019), HEAVEN features Andrew Bennett (Oscar-nominated The Quiet Girl) and Janet Moran (Irish Times Best Actress winner for Heaven). It was a hit at Dublin Theatre Festival 2022 and Off-Broadway in 2023.
