The New Theatre, Tuesday 16th July - Saturday 27th July
The New Theatre presents the Dublin premiere of Vincent Woods new play On The Way Out.
Set in Leitrim but hovering on the edge of liminal space and time. How and what do we remember? How is memory trapped in, and defined by, space: a house, a room, a farm, a bordered set of expectations and silences?
On the Way Out is based on Vincent Woods’s first play (John Hughdy and Tom John) which was written in New Zealand and produced by Druid Theatre Company in 1991. A dying patriarch (Seamus O’ Rourke) tells his story, defiant, pagan, stubborn; rooted and unexpectedly universal. His son (Darragh Scannell) tells a very different story; the two voices echo and distort each other and make a fractured world. A storyteller (Roseanne Lynch) whose words blur the edges of reality, and prism the shadows of their existence in a stream of language, surreal and elemental, that suggests a lost world and an eternal thread of light.
