This new musical tells the story of a fictional single mother, Bernadette Boland and her sisters Noleen and Kathleen, against the backdrop of a changing Ireland of the 1970s. The brewing culture of revolution at Gajs Restaurant on Baggot Street sets the context for the personal story of Bernadette’s journey to empowerment and her search for “Home”.
