Buddleia by Paul Mercier
Buddleia is a thrilling account of a troubled city at a time of great flux. First staged to great success in 1995, this revival of Paul Mercier’s contemporary classic relocates the action of the play to modern day Dublin. Reflecting a splintered society where ambition, progression and development are juxtaposed with homelessness, violence and cronyism, this epic state-of-the-nation play filters the complex story of Dublin city through the lens of a humble red-bricked terrace house.
This production contains strobe lighting, strong language, scenes of a sexual nature, nudity and smoke effects.
You might also be interested in the next production, The Cradle Will Rock directed by Wayne Jordan running from 3rd - 9th December.
