Bedbound

This event has ended

3Olympia Theatre, Tuesday 8th August - Saturday 12th August

Father and Daughter are bound, inextricably, to each other. And the walls are closing in.

He talks frantically about his extraordinary past in furniture sales; she talks no less compulsively about anything at all, to fill the terrible silence in her head.

What would happen if the torrent of words … just stopped?

Colm Meaney – whose recent stage performances include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in the West End and The Iceman Cometh on Broadway – returns to the Irish stage for the first time in over 40 years, to play the once-flamboyant furniture salesman. Brenda Meaney plays his daughter, confined to a small bed.

Mike and Emily have separated for a year and are constantly rowing about money, access and parenting styles. They can't go on like this. One fateful afternoon, for the sake of their young son, they try to find a better way. It all goes wrong, it all goes right and a little electrical fault spins them (and us) back and forth in time in search of the truth.
