Little Gem

Three generations of Dublin women. One extraordinary year. A journey of courage, comedy and romance in the award-winning hit of the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Happy-go-lucky Amber, fresh out of school, is high on life, double sambucas and boyfriend Paul. That is until the ‘indigestion’ starts. Her mother Lorraine attacks a customer at work and now she’s seeing a ‘head doctor’. She’s told to do one nice thing for herself each week. Time to sign up for salsa classes. Nanny Kay, meanwhile, is finding life on the wrong side of sixty frustrating. Ailing husband Gem doesn’t like the neighbours coming in to ‘mind’ him, and she’s missing more than just his conversation. And if all that wasn’t bad enough, Little Gem makes his presence felt and life is never the same again.
