The show centres around Cora: receptionist for a dealer of car-parts, foster-sister, weekend raver; endowed through unwanted circumstance with the ability to cure ailments of the breath. Amidst a dense fog of uncertainty about her own origin and caught within the clenched fist of 1990\u2019s small-town Ireland, Cora\u2019s \u2018cure\u2019 is the thread that connects her to genealogy, to community and to her own sense of identity. When a moment of crisis causes that thread to fray, she is faced with the prospect of being the point in history where a powerful form of healing is irrevocably lost &#8211; an unraveling with seismic personal and societal consequences.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>The world of\u00a0<em>The Curing Line\u00a0<\/em>is one in which the sublime and the ridiculous, the carnal and the mystic intermingle and become confused.
