Step inside the boxing ring - smell it, sense it, feel it and somewhere between the fights and the fortune tellers, the bookies and the bloodshed rub shoulders with its wayward wards.

Set in rural Ireland in the early 60s Lay Me Down Softly is a dangerous story told with a darkly comic wit. A mythic tale of love, loss and pain that proves that life on the road is tough.

When young runaway Emer arrives in search of her long lost father and a challenge from a professional boxer is thrown in to the ring everything in this run down side show is about to change forever.

First seen in Abbey in 2008 this brand new production is written and directed by leading Irish playwright Billy Roche (Wexford Trilogy, Amphibians, The Cavalcaders , On such as We and screenplays Trojan Eddie starring Richard Harris and Stephen Rae and The Eclipse with Conor McPherson, winner of Ifta for best film and screenplay 2010)
Suitable ages 14+, contains strong language and some scenes of a violent nature
