About The Brightening Air

The family home is more than just a structure; it's a place of pilgrimage, a treasured inheritance, a vault of memories, or even a touch of magic. For siblings Stephen and Billie, it's all they have. Despite their crumbling farmhouse, they’re managing just fine. That is, until an ex-clergyman uncle arrives with a dubious scheme, a sister-in-law desperate for a miracle, and a wayward brother determined to stir up trouble. In the world premiere of The Brightening Air, Olivier Award-winning writer and director Conor McPherson (The Weir, Girl from the North Country) weaves a captivating tale of family, fate, and unseen forces in 1980s Ireland.
