Absent The Wrong

A woman looking for her child is lied to. An artist pitches a memorial that is never built. A landlord raises rents. And thousands of children disappear.

Absent The Wrong is an intimate and sweeping play by Carys D. Coburn about seventy years of Irish adoptees and their search for answers. It premiered at the Abbey Theatre as part of the 2022 Dublin Theatre Festival, where it was named Best New Production.
