A blackly comic vision of Dublin infested with demons. 'We go, see
the slo-mo ebb and flow; the mill, the babble, the rabble of
wobbling waywards, exiled and aimless, unlike us as, purposeful and
double-file, like kids on a dare, we head who the fuck knows
where?' Three people are ripped from their daily lives and
catapulted into a fantastical world of singing serial killers,
avenging angels and lovesick demons. Hold tight as the ordinary
turns extraordinary in Mark O'Rowe's urban fantasy. Terminus was
first performed at the Abbey Theatre Peacock, Dublin, in June 2007.
The production transferred to the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in
August 2008 as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it was
awarded a Fringe First.
Listen carefully ... Three women. Three conversations. As the
details of what they share begin to diverge, we realise that a
subtle game of survival is being played. Both psychological puzzle
and quietly devastating tragedy, The Approach explores the inner
lives of Anna, Cora and Denise as they desperately try to make
sense of their world. What will their conversations reveal? And
what does each of them have to hide?
A wife, a muse, a coward, a heretic. Hedda Gabler is something to
everyone, yet has no idea who she is to herself. Trapped by
convention and by her own irreconcilable nature, will she have the
courage to shape her own destiny? Mark O'Rowe's fluid yet faithful
adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's masterpiece Hedda Gabler was premiered
at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in April 2015.

allies are interchangeable. First we meet Howie. He tells us how,
one night, he gets caught up in a gang intent on beating up Rookie.

goes just the same. They beat up Rookie. Howie returns to discover

the Rookie was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in
