A ONE WOMAN PLAY BY COLIN BATEMAN - DIRECTED BY KIERAN GRIFFITHS

"What are we to make of the men of violence whose time has been and gone, and who have settled into both civil and civilian life? Is there any reason at all to suppose that their capacity for murder has somehow drained away, or will it always be there, like a lining of grease and fat lurking in their mental plumbing?"

Award winning writer Colin Bateman's second play asks the question, can forgiveness overcome the want for revenge in 21st century Northern Ireland?

This powerful and captivating play, laced with the blackest of humour, is returning to The Playhouse due to popular demand. This follows a fantastic debut at The Playhouse in 2016, a sellout run at Bangor's Open House festival and standing ovations at the Lyric theatre, Belfast. The show will also be heading out on an all-Ireland tour in April - May 2017.
