“I still remember what you look like, Tekla. Under those nice clothes.”

In a holiday hotel by the sea, Adolph anxiously awaits the return of his new wife, Tekla, and finds solace in the words of a stranger.
Creditors, by Swedish master playwright August Strindberg, is a darkly comic sexual triangle. David Greig’s razor-sharp translation captures the thrilling intimacy of this examination of seduction, betrayal and the ways we never let go.

Directed by Aoife Spillane-Hinks (The Motherf**cker with the Hat, Pilgrim)
With:
Ronan Leahy
(Oedipus, An Enemy of the People)

Producer: Aisling O’Brien

About the Company
C Company was founded in London in 2006, when ten actors joined forces to produce plays where the actor is at the heart of the work. Aiming to break the constraints of artifice, we strive to give our audiences actual life in all its thrilling unpredictability. We bring a creative, collaborative approach to the classics and to developing new plays, with the simple aim of inspiring our audiences to feel, think, and enjoy.
Previous productions include the London premiere of Mark O’Rowe’s From Both Hips, Shakespeare’s Macbeth in a prehistoric cave labyrinth, and Chekhov’s The Bear.

Reviews

  • ****

    -- reviewshub.com
  • “To do justice to such a finely balanced piece of psychological word-play takes some doing, and C Company playing at The New Theatre: Dublin accomplish it with great aplomb and intelligence”

    -- Emer O'Kelly, Sunday Independent
  • ”Susan Bracken gives an exceptionally nuanced performance”

    -- Michael Moffatt, The Irish Mail on Sunday
  • “…The same holds true for C Company’s production of ‘Creditors.’ For underneath Greig’s fine writing something nakedly destructive lurks, seen in this brave production that has the power to engage, to provoke and to disturb”

    ****

    -- Examiner.com
  • “Impressive” set, “dark comedic” tone, “enjoyable and sharp”
