1980s Ireland. Five sisters, bound together under their mother's watchful eye, spend their lives longing for escape, power and the one local eligible bachelor. Dark, raucous and with a tender heart, BÁN is a reworking of Lorca's The House of Bernarda Alba. Carys D. Coburn's play was a finalist for the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, and premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2025.
