In the world premiere of this black comedy, a young documentary film maker, forced to take a part time job in a Dublin research company, soon discovers that the business has come up with a unique and dangerous solution to help ride out the recession.
Funny, dark and unsettling, “Tracer” is a timely reminder of how far some people are willing to go in order to survive.
From the team that brought you last year’s Stewart Parker nominated play “Revenant.”

Written by Stewart Roche
Directed by Jeda De Bri
Produced by Anthony Fox

Reviews

  • “a theatre company that are worth looking out for…
    … an incredible piece of new theatre.”

    -- In Dublin
  • “I am a fan of Roches’ witty writing style, which does come across really well in this piece…the authenticity that the actors bring to their roles is superb. ‘Tracer’ is an enjoyable piece of theatre with a strong and talented cast. Setting aside an evening to see the show in the charming New Theatre would be an evening well spent.”

    -- EILE Magazine
  • “It is very funny yet it manages to keep up an air of mystery and tension. This is an impressive piece of new writing that deserves to be seen by a wider audience. It is an unusual concept, to have a funny thriller, a play with as many twists as there are gags…… very enjoyable, get along to it if you can.”

    -- No More Workhorse
