Clodagh Corona has escaped and is going home, she recalls the day that changed her life, with Gerathy when he took her “Back the Tide”.
It’s a story she has to tell to all her hometown, a story she must tell to survive. A story of …LOVE.
Neill Flynn’s drama is full of mystery and menace, rhyme and pitch black humour.

Performed by Judith Ryan
Directed by Peter Reid
