Photo Flash: Lyric Theatre Belfast Presents THE ABSENCE OF WOMEN
The Lyric Theatre Belfast presents The Absence Of Women, written by Owen McCafferty and directed by Rachel O'Riordan, which runs at the Tricycle Theatre from 13 September until 8 October with press night on 14 September. Last year the production ran at the Lyric Belfast before a tour of venues in Ireland. The Absence Of Women has design by Stuart Marshall, lighting design by James Whiteside and sound and AV design by Ivan Birthistle and Vincent Doherty.
The cast are Peter Gowan (Gerry) Ciaran McIntyre (Iggy) Francis Mezza (John) and Alice O'Connell (Dotty).Gerry and Iggy, two labourers from Belfast face the end of their lives in a London hostel, talking of the present and thinking of the past. They argue about who has the biggest liver, the names of tube stations and whether they should go back to Belfast or not. But where are the women in their lives? The Absence of Women is a funny and poignant play about the life journey of two ordinary and lonely Belfast men. It's a tale of life and its endless possibilities, missed opportunities and how one man's choice, in one instant, can alter the path of his life forever.
Owen McCafferty's writing for the stage includes Shoot The Crow at Druid, Galway, Closing Time and Scenes From The Big Picture at The National Theatre and Days of Wine and Roses at the Donmar Warehouse. He has won awards for his play writing including the Meyer-Whitworth Award, John Whiting Award and Evening Standard Charles Wintour Award for New Playwriting.Phone 020 7328 1000
