Alongside Irish guest ensembles' performances, the Keller Theatre will have its own production in collaboration with the Irish author:

Fingers Crossed, A Play by Colette Cullen:

Two very different couples with two very different fertility journeys meet in the waiting room of an IVF clinic. A chance meeting has life-changing consequences.

Successful professional couple Sara and Adam have everything except a baby. During their ten-year marriage they’ve had four failed IUI’s and five failed IVF’s. But they also have history beyond their marriage.

Jessica and Jess, married four years, each wanted a baby, but when it’s Jess’s turn things don’t work out quite as planned.

When those two couples have a chance encounter in the waiting room of a fertility clinic, a few pressing issues will be discussed, like "Do you check the weather forecast before proposing?”, "Do children need to know the business their parents are running?”, and "Who does the proposing in a same sex relationship?”
