Salvage Shop

Set in the seaside town of Garris, Ireland, The Salvage Shop hinges on the fraught relationship between Sylvie Tansey, maestro of the local brass band reluctant to relinquish his position, and his forebearing son, Eddie. The consoling force of opera and the music of the band provides a soundtrack for the ambitions, great and small, of the several characters in Jim Nolan's touching, heartwarming play, and for their inabilities and efforts to connect as they negotiate ways to salve the wounds of a family and the sores of a community.
