Marriage and the shattering betrayals that can sometimes unexpectedly strengthen them are the theme of Haunted, award winning Irish writer Edna O’Brien’s play now showing at the 59E59 Theaters in New York. CAHIR O’DOHERTY talks to the show’s legendary writer and its stars.
 
In marriage all is perceived though much is withheld, writes Edna O’Brien in her wise and witty play Haunted, now showing at the 59E59 Theaters in Manhattan. It’s exactly the kind of hard-won, tell-the-truth observation that her new play is filled with, making for a particularly absorbing night out.

Novelist Edna O’Brien gave her first interview in the home town of Scariff where she was banned after writing a controversial book about sex and young Irish women.
