Abbey Theatre playscript series. ; 19.9 x 13 x 0.8 cms; 89 pages; Dermot Bolger's The Passion of Jerome is a psychological drama that delves into themes of guilt, secrecy, and the supernatural. Premiering at the Peacock stage of Dublin's Abbey Theatre in February 1999, the play centres on Jerome Furlong, a successful businessman whose life is meticulously constructed on a foundation of deceit. His carefully maintained façade begins to unravel when he encounters the poltergeist spirit of a deceased boy in the squalid flat he uses for an extramarital affair. This haunting presence forces Jerome to confront both his personal demons and a supernatural reality beyond his comprehension. The play explores the collision between the mundane and the otherworldly, illustrating how buried truths and unresolved guilt can manifest in unexpected and unsettling ways. Bolger's work is noted for its intense energy and imaginative storytelling, offering a compelling narrative that examines the consequences of living a life steeped in lies. The Passion of Jerome stands as a significant piece in contemporary Irish theatre, reflecting on the complexities of human nature and the haunting power of the past. ; Signed by Author.
