‘The Donahue Sisters’ Synopsis:

Three sharp-tongued Irish sisters with a very dark secret reunite in the playroom of their childhood home because of their father’s ailing health. Geraldine Aron’s one-act play is a bitter, disturbing and darkly funny story of sibling rivalry and sisterly love.

"One for all and all for one, the Donahue sisters stick together."
