Gagarin Way
Top of Page
by Gregory Burke
January 19 - February 7

An electric, dark comedy by Scottish Playwright Gregory Burke, Gagarin Way uses the high-voltage story of a botched kidnapping to explore its characters’ conflicting impulses toward apathy and outrage. Two dispossessed factory workers decide to make a political statement by kidnapping an executive from the factory’s multi-national corporate owner. The problem is that the Cold War is long since over. The workers are too late for the revolution, and they find that their hostage challenges their assumptions about the evils of the global economy. From the author of the highly acclaimed BLACK WATCH.

A co-production with Amaryllis Theatre.

*Contains strong language and violence.

Bedbound
by Enda Walsh

“I’m in the bed. The panic has sucked me dry again ‘til all that’s left is ta start over. I get that tiredness turn to tight...and I give into the words. I let go. Go.”

A young girl trapped by polio in her bed. A father, ashamed of her and her disability has holed her up in her room, as he works in his furniture store. But today he is in the room with her. Why didn’t he go to work? Why doesn’t he want to leave the room? Why does he disturb the one solace his daughter is allowed? Why? From the writer of the highly acclaimed THE WALWORTH FARCE.

Irish bachelor farmers, Da berates Thomas daily about being the end of the family line. When Thomas reveals he may have sired a child seventy years ago, the pair set off to find his son with nothing but a limp and a prayer between them.
