On The Way Out

This event has ended

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.

ELYSIUM, NEVADA

Bewley's Cafe Theatre

First presented to great acclaim in 2010, Barry McKinley’s Elysium Nevada was nominated for the Irish Times Best New Play Award. Bewley’s Café Theatre is delighted to present this timely new production. In a sun-blasted retirement home on the edge of the Mojave Desert, two residents pass their days trading barbs, jokes and grievances as they wait for time to do what it always does. Their brittle comedy masks deeper fears about decline, memory and the approach of death. When a mysterious outsider joins them, the familiar rhythms of their banter begin to fracture, and what starts as a da
