Set in a near-future Ireland where the Western World has eaten itself into anonymity and another Great Recession, Paler, Still is a new dramatic-comedy centered around two childhood friends. After Aisling suffers a mental breakdown, Liam brings her across the newly established border that separates the Greater Dublin Region from the rest of the country. In this abandoned hotel deep in Tipperary she can heal, convalesce and recuperate. However, old tensions simmer under the surface of this idealised place. Paler, Still explores the nature of capitalist society, the value of culture, and the cost of the rural-urban divide. Developed with support from Fishamble's New Play Clinic and Tipperary County Council.
