It’s Breda’s birthday but life’s not been going according to plan of late. She’s in no mood to celebrate. Her friends however have other ideas. Homemade birthday cake and too many Bacardis later—it turns out Breda’s not the only one with problems! 

Shush is the follow-up to Elaine Murphy’s hugely successful comedy Little Gem. A similarly terrific portrait of five women reaching a certain age, Shush also showcases the earlier play’s fantastic sense of humour and emotional heart. Premiering at Dublin’s famous Abbey Theatre before opening at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival, Shush looks set to follow in the footsteps of its smash-hit predecessor with a London run.
