Smock Alley Theatre, Thursday 17th July - Saturday 2nd August
In this swirling and sexy comedy of bad manners, Molière’s France becomes Dublin’s FRANS, a Silicon Docks megacorp brimming with pissants, posers, and plutocrats all grubbing for power and pleasure. As terminally over-it Alceste navigates a tempest of HR complaints and office warfare, his vexed and oversexed lover Celimene treads her own social minefield as she prepares to launch a venture that could liberate her from FRANS and all her hangers-on for good.
Escape from the woes of the modern world into a battleground of egos ruled by the absurd whims of tech titans– oh, wait. A play precocious, prescient, perverse / and yes, you guessed it, all in rhyming verse.
The Irish Premiere of American Playwright Matt Minnicino’s Helen Hayes Award nominated adaptation, from the team behind the five-star (Irish Times) production of Tempesta by Deirdre Kinahan: director/designer duo Marc Atkinson Borrull and Molly O’Cathain of Sugarglass, will feature a multi-national ensemble.
