My Brilliant Divorce

My Brilliant Divorce follows a woman through the break-up of her marriage. The play premiered at the Druid Theatre in Galway, Ireland in the autumn of 2001 with Glenne Headly. When Angela Lipsky’s husband has a mid-life crisis and a mid-European affair, she finds herself adrift in a sea of shifty solicitors, a disapproving mother, a series of helpline counsellors and Christmas all on her own. Bizarre dates, suspect purchases, a near reconciliation with the ex, then a singles ‘away weekend’ in the Welsh Hills brings about a surprise meeting and maybe some hope.
