Award winning playwright Kate Mulvany took the independent theatre world by storm in the 2007 B Sharp Season with her Philip Persons Young Playwright’s Award commission, The Seed. Now her acclaimed play, inspired by the impact of war on her not-so-typical Irish family, is making its way across Australia.

The story involves three generations of the Maloney family reuniting after thirty years. Brian - a stoic and devout IRA soldier; Danny, his ten-pound pom and Vietnam Veteran son; and Rose his granddaughter - a 30-year-old Australian writer desperately trying to report the repercussions of the war in order to escape her own scars.

The three come together for what is supposed to be a long-awaited celebration, yet as stories and histories are revealed, the lines between truth and lies, war and peace and family and foe become increasingly blurred, and the Maloney family home becomes an explosive battle ground.
