OFFSTAGE
Three One Act Plays In One Evening
The Devil his Due
Dr Frowsty sold his soul to the devil when a young student, now, forty years later the devil has come to collect his dues. The local community including priests, a white witch, the police and two local spinsters come to Old Frowstys aid, but can they outwit the Devil before it is too late? With a mix of live Irish music and a hilarious dialogue, a toe tapping belly laugh a minute is guaranteed for audiences.
Written by Seamus Fail.
Directed by Des Smith
Flybaby
Lassie and Phil, a couple of 20-somethings have been preparing for the birth of a baby - only to have God come on TV hours before the birth to proclaim the newborn as the Messiah. Now the baby has been born and the crowds are gathering outside, the police are sweeping the rooftops for snipers, and a special envoy from the Vatican has arrived to determine if it really is the Messiah. It's all too much for the terminally hopeless Phil and his sarcastic girlfriend Lassie.
Written by Ken Duncum and Rebecca Rodden.
Directed by James Bell
Distant Children
A mans surreal journey through his memories. What has he become? What is lost in us all?
