AIRLOCK
Collaborative, energetic theatre with queer characters.
ERIS by John King
September 2018, Bunker Theatre
Seán is feeling wronged because his boyfriend Tim has been excluded from a family wedding back home in Ireland. What does it matter that they’ve just broken up? The problem for his family is that Tim is femme, fabulous and worst of all, English. Spurred on by righteous anger, Seán is determined to do something about it.
“Superbly written, inventively directed, charmingly acted and a master class in how to bring to life an otherwise sparse stage, ERIS delivered on all counts and was one of the best new plays we have seen this summer."
★★★★★ Jack the Lad, for ERIS
“I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors."
Based on and incorporating ‘The World’s Wife’ by Carol Ann Duffy, this one-woman play journeys through history and mythology from the obscured, female perspective. Including poetry, physical theatre, puppetry and verbatim, this is an exploration of womanhood through the ages.
After all, behind every great man…
“This production by AIRLOCK is atmospheric and beautifully realised.
A genuine pleasure to watch.”
★★★★ BroadwayBaby, for KURSK
"WIFE takes an already tantalisingly creative anthology of poetry to a new level of imagination."
