Pearse Elliott and Rawlife Theatre Company bring a powerful new dark comedy that takes an original and entertaining look at the ‘Celtic Tiger’ and the mayhem left in its demise.
In the ashes of the economic downturn, a beautiful young woman, a psychopathic murderer and a bankrupt farmer become embroiled in a tiger kidnapping held at a farm in the North-South border area. Who is behind the kidnapping? What is the victim worth? Will the Germans bail them out? Does Cormac McCarthy have the answer? The play takes a comedic look at what ordinary people will resort to when hope is lost, love betrayed and everything familiar becomes a distant memory?
Although Pearse has forged an international reputation writing scripts for global stars such as Gillian Anderson and Robert Carlyle he has always remained true to his local roots and no more so than in this unmissable comedy.
‘Septic Tiger’ will be staged at The Market Place Theatre in Armagh on Friday 20th June at 8pm. Tickets are priced £12 each, and can be booked by contacting the Box Office on [028] 3752 1821, or online at www.marketplacearmagh.com. This production is recommended for age 16+, due to strong language.
