The Rough Magic AIB SEEDS Showcase 2009 is a pioneering initiative to seek out, enable, encourage, develop and stage the work of a new generation of theatre talent. This year’s Rough Magic AIB SEEDS present……
DYING CITY (4 & 6-14 NOV, 6.00PM)
Dying City is a play about collapse. Collapse of relationships. Collapse of a city. Collapse of an idea. Set in New York City in January 2004 and July 2005, the stories of two brothers unfold over two nights.
First produced at the Royal Court Theatre in 2006, this compassionate play explores the experiences of grief and human sadness, the effect of pervading violence on a generation and the brutality of war within ourselves. An intimate portrait of a relationship, a family and a city changed forever.
This production is part of the Rough Magic AIB SEEDS Showcase 2009, a pioneering initiative to seek out, enable, encourage, develop and stage the work of a new generation of theatre talent.
SERIOUS MONEY (5-14 NOV, 8.30PM)
“If you stay ugly, god knows what your fate is. But sexy greedy IS the late eighties.”
When young financier Jake Todd is found dead under mysterious circumstances, his sister Scilla gets on the case. Did a dodgy deal go sour? Was someone after his enormous fortune? Or did he finally get a conscience and commit suicide?
With a chilling resonance for our own time, Scilla takes on the jobbers, bankers and spin-doctors in the rabid and rapacious world of 1980s London finance. In this athletic rendition of Caryl Churchill’s mercilessly funny play, stock traders sing, seduce and chug champagne as they battle to make it to the top.
This production is part of the Rough Magic AIB SEEDS Showcase 2009, a pioneering initiative to seek out, enable, encourage, develop and stage the work of a new generation of theatre talent.
