Directed by Paines Plough’s Joint Artistic Director, Katie Posner, the cast includes Julia Dearden (Derry Girls; After Life; Dancing at Lughnasa), Caoimhe Farren (The Ferryman; Derry Girls), Andrea Irvine (Blue Lights; Line of Duty) and Muireann Ní Fhaogáin, who makes her professional stage debut in Consumed.

A 90th birthday party that no-one seems to want. Four generations of Northern Irish women, reunited under one roof. A house full of hungry ghosts, with more than one skeleton in the closet. Turn off your phones at dinner.
 
Winner of the Women’s Prize for the Playwriting 2022, Karis Kelly’s play is a pitch-black and twisted comedy of dysfunctional family dynamics, generational revolt and national boundaries.
 
Consumed will follow its run at the Edinburgh Fringe with a UK-wide tour, visiting Belgrade Theatre (3-6 September), Leeds Playhouse (10-13 September), Yvonne Arnaud Theatre (16-20 September) and the Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse at Sheffield Theatres (24 September-11 October).
