"'The Belfast Connection' follows Livy O'Laughlin, a young girl from Belfast, Northern Ireland, who is sent to live with her extended family in Chelsea, Massachusetts, to escape the violence of the Troubles. As Livy adjusts to her new life, her family becomes entangled in a web of political corruption, organized crime, and lingering trauma from their past. Through humor, resilience, and cultural exchange, the play explores themes of identity, family, and the enduring impact of historical conflict."
