Description
Two bombs in one day is a foul coincidence
Don't forget the lightning strike
A normal day. A person stands in the market square watching the world go by.
What happens next verges on the ridiculous.
There's ice cream. Sunshine. Shops. Some dogs. A wedding. Bombs. Candles. Blood. Lightning. Sandwiches. Snipers. Looting. Gunshots. Babies. Actors. Azaleas. Famine. Fountains. Statues. Atrocities. And tanks. (Probably).
Rory Mullarkey's new play asks whether things really are getting worse. And if we care.

Rory Mullarkey's poetical, darkly funny but never murky adaptation proves stimulating and surprising . . . makes you laugh one moment and shudder the next
The Times (on Saint George and the Dragon)

It's no surprise that there's a lot of theatre right now preoccupied with tyranny and freedom, as well as the power of nationalism to divide a country rather than hold it together. Rory Mullarkey's new play addresses all these issues, favouring an anarchic style that at times brings to mind Blackadder and Monty Python...There are ticklish jokes and moments of enjoyable mischief...
