A horror fuelled fever dream, a story both savage and strange with delicious shivers and tactical thrills, about becoming a distraction, falling from grace and dealing in the dead of night in a desolate place.
From the team behind Melmoth the Wanderer (“anarchic comedy-horror… brilliant, physical work” – The Herald, Scotland) and Frankenstein’s Monster is Drunk… (“a winsome cartwheel of a show” – The New York Times), as well as Best Production, Origin 1st Irish Festival 2025, comes this fiendishly clever twist on a time-honoured tale. Brought to life by a razor-sharp ensemble.
Join us, on this wild search party for an absent soul (bring your own torch).
Dates: 29th Oct – 9th Nov
Naughton Studio, The Lyric Theatre
