FIGHT BACK FESTIVAL 2020
Presented by The New Theatre and TakeYourSeats.ie

 

An isolated island. A commune of like-minded people.
A chance at a new beginning.

You wouldn’t think it to look at him now but Spooner was
once quite the whizz in finance. Good in presentations, great
at crunching numbers, a real company man. But the veneer
of success hid a desire for something different in life. So
when offered the opportunity to join a community by the
charismatic Kemp, he jumped at the chance. However the
desolation and sadness Spooner found in his new
surroundings soon made him realise that some places on
earth are not meant to be occupied.
And some places on earth have a will all of their own…

Cast and Creatives

Reviews

  • “Fleming, disturbingly dishevelled in casual clothes with faint camouflage print, speaks directly to the camera from a staged scenario whose significance is not clear to the audience until the end. This complements the contemporary gothic flavour of Roche’s writing. Gripping stuff.”

    -- Sara Keating, Sunday Business Post
  • THE FETCH WILSON review:

    “4 stars…an intriguing monologue…writer Stewart Roche reels you in and keeps you hooked until the end.”

    -- The Scotsman
