"The whole point of living is preparing to die," says one character at a pivotal moment in Solas Nua's new production of Woman and Scarecrow. It's not just the point of life, but the point of the play itself, most of which is spent inside the mind of an unnamed woman as she spends her final hours succumbing, with both relief and reluctance, to an unnamed malady. If that sounds quite dark, well, it is. You were expecting something a little more uplifting from an Irish deathbed drama? But if it also sounds dreary, that's where you'd be wrong.
