Carter has found the perfect location to shoot his zombie movie set during the famine – a country house on an island off the coast of Mayo.The only catch is he has it for just 3 days.
So when his lead actor drops out the day before shooting starts, Carter is faced with a dilemma – pull the plug on his dream project or cast the mysterious Vardell, an actor of incendiary talent but with a dark past that Carter knows precious little about. As events unfold on the set, Carter soon suspects that he may have made a grave mistake…

“His eyes take me in, no they drag me in by the scruff, with the promise of something different. Something vivid. Something dangerous. Deane pledged, Deane vindicated, Vardell a god.”
Visceral, blackly comic and genuinely scary, “Revenant” stars Simon Toal (Nominee-Herald Angel Award, Best Actor Edinburgh Fringe) who was most recently seen at the New Theatre in “Jack Kairo and the long hard kiss goodbye”

Directed by Stewart Roche

Reviews

  • “Roche’s script is a spikenard of playful savagery along with a wealth of sardonic wit….blending the spine-tingling shiver with the knowing smile…genuinely chilling… Simon Toal is a one-man continuum of entertainment.”

    -- Irish Independent
  • “…entertaining solo performance by Simon Toal, a fine comic actor who can seem at once commanding and crumpled… full of fresh quips and media in-jokes… something much funnier and darker beneath the surface; a moral satire about art where any epitome of evil will be indulged, so long as they are consummate professionals.” – The Irish Times
    “A thoroughly superb production, great entertainment for everybody.” – thepublicreviews
    “He is a charismatic actor with natural comedic timing and is most enjoyable to watch.”

    -- No More Workhorse
