Set in the South West of Ireland 1999, at a nunnery near the fictitious village of Sibeal (County Kerry), two young women are on their big OE when they come face-to-face with the super-natural force of Briar Faith.

Te Rēhia Theatre brings you Albert Belz’s new award-winning thriller Cradle Song. This gripping new work follows the success of Belz’s Yours Truly, a now iconic New Zealand thriller performed nationwide. 

Cradle Song is this writers reaction to the tragic discovery of a mass children’s grave which was part of a Home for Unmarried Mothers in the township of Tuam, Ireland.  

Starring Donogh Rees and directed by Tainui Tukiwaho Cradle Song is presented in collaboration with Q Theatre.

“Sleep, sleep, grah mo chree
Here on your mamma’s knee”
