The Bruiser Theatre Company returns to Ballina Arts Centre with their production of The Nose.

The Bruiser Theatre Company is back on the road with this hilarious comedy that shines a merciless light on the murky world of bureaucracy, written by and starring long-term Bruiser collaborator Patrick J. O’Reilly. This great new show will be fun, fast, visually exciting and very funny.

In this fresh new adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s classic short story, Alexey, a government bureaucrat, awakens one morning horrified to discover that his nose has run off! Join Alexey as he frantically tries to stop his runaway nose from causing him all manner of public humiliation and get back on his face! This adaptation preserves Gogol’s whimsical and humorous writing style and pokes fun at the incompetence of ‘the powers that be’ and the superficial nature of society’s ‘respectable’ classes.
