16th Sep 2023 - 17th Sep 2023
UNTIL Sunday 17th September
Following the highly successful Haunting of Blaine Manor written & directed by Joe O'Byrne ...
It's just a bench in the park, the one by the war memorial. A thief, a fake clairvoyant, a homeless man, two teenage burglars, a street sweeper, two war veterans, an artist, a widow, a drug dealer, a real clairvoyant, a loan shark, an angel and a ghost. They've all sat here at least once this year. Before the end of the year one of them will be murdered here…
A comedy of love, life and loss.
"Entirely gripping, utterly enthralling. A play like Joe O'Byrne's comes along to remind us all what really matters" Grimmfest
"The quality of production and script we would expect to see on the main stages of our region's theatres" British Theatre Guide
"Highly recommended and a play and writer that will surely go on to greater things" Manchester Evening News
"Like Jim Cartwright, O'Byrne has a knack of finding poetry in the most ordinary situations; he also has real affection for his characters, and they feel like flesh and blood people" Whatsonstage.com
