Description: 'Forgotten' features the interconnecting stories of four elderly people living in retirement homes and care facilities around Ireland, who range in age from 80 to 100 years old. Flor was once a contract farmer who built Ireland with work from its civil war rubble; Dora was once a well-to-do girl from a wealthy family with an eye for a handsome man; Eucharia goes shopping ever week to catch a glimpse of the girl she admires from afar; and Gustus feels abandoned by his daughter who has no time for him. 'Forgotten' was produced by Fishamble: The New Play Company at over sixty Irish venues, in eight European countries, and in four U.S. cities between 2007 and 2012.
