This heartbreaking story follows the lives of four unwed Irish mothers working as “penitents” in an institution run by the church. Here they were forced to wash the sins of lust from their souls while conveniently washing the country’s laundry. Their babies were taken from them and put up for adoption in the United States and other countries. The last of the Magdalene Laundries closed in 1996. Fallen immerses us in the lives of these passionate young women and their caretakers. A compelling production that brims over with darkness and light, not to be missed. Westmeath Examiner
