O'Brien, written by NB Playwright Thomas Hodd

A third-generation Irish family, living and working in Saint John, New Brunswick. It is 1914, and Hap O'Brien, a conductor for the St. John Street Railway Company, is raising two sons with wife Kate. The family is forced to confront the real-world turmoil of social and labour unrest in Saint John, on the eve of the First World War.

This is a very exciting project for us, highlighting Irish NB history as well as a major labour event most New Brunswickers don't know about.
