Comedy / 30 September - 14 October 2006

THE BONEFIRE

Tickets: 15

A comedy of manners amongst the sectarian classes. This world première is a glittering comedy of violence that takes a darkly satirical look at what really lights our fire…
Across Belfast, the Loyalist community is steadying itself for the orgiastic drug-fest that is the sacred and glorious 12th of July. As ‘the boney’ looms larger day by day, UDA wannabes are drawn like moths to a flame. Up in the flats, hard man Tommy thinks Leanne is more like his Ma than his sister, but in her head Leanne is anything but maternal. And when Tommy’s pal Davey arrives with a mysterious new woman, it only takes a spark to ignite ‘the bonefire’.
