Clifden's Daughter is a heartwarming stage play set in the picturesque town of Clifden on Ireland's wild Connemara Coast. The story revolves around Millie Whelan, a spirited widow in her 70s, who grapples with loneliness and longs for connection with her distant children and American grandchildren. Millie's life is upended when Lucy, an American visitor, arrives, believing she has familial ties with Millie. The play weaves a tale of mistaken identity, self-discovery, and the transformative power of genuine human connection.
