The best of Irish playwriting lands at the Barbican in an exciting project. An audience of one steps into a booth blindly for a play they don’t get to choose. Six five-minute one-act shows penned by Enda Walsh, Marina Carr, Mark O’Rowe, Joy Nesbitt, Louise O’Neill and Katie Holly are offered on rotation by one actor for one spectator in a truly unique individual experience. What happens when you remove the social element from a live performance? Does the physiology of theatre alter when you’re alone with it? How does intimacy impact the relationship with a story?

La dramaturga Marina Carr retoma la tragedia de Esquilo para, desde la visión de sus protagonistas, denunciar los abusos y funestas consecuencias de un patriarcado que se respira todos los días; como si estirara la mano hacia la Grecia clásica y trajera a nuestro tiempo esta tragedia para presentarla con una brutalidad que sacude las conciencias.
