Aurora: A Modern Myth by Dominic Montague
5 - 8 Feb
Press Quotes
“Meghan Tyler as Cass is a constant on stage throughout the 90 minutes giving a child-like hope and wonder to Cass’s mission… ably supported on-stage by Conor O’Donnell and Thomas Finnegan. The incredible projections, sound and lighting designs and even the story itself make the static structure feel alive – and provide a reminder that we are all connected to nature. A little gem of a production.”
The Arts Dispatch ****“
“A contemporary, and, at times, surreal journey into a story of nature and man’s seemingly insatiable appetite for personal enrichment whatever the cost. Playwright Montague tells a gripping story and is ably assisted by the innovative use of design and sound. His vision is also perfectly executed by Prime Cut director Emma Jordan.”

“A performance of staggering weight by actress Meghan Tyler. A performance which is the highlight and the centrepiece of a richly layered and visually distinctive piece of work. So much is going on here in a short space of time, and director Jordan deserves very high praise indeed for ensuring the tones of this powerful narrative remain adroitly blended”
Si Arts On Theatre
“I don’t want to spill too much on the show as a lot of the beauty comes from not expecting how it’s performed but it’s about a woman trying to save a special tree from a gold mine. It highlights the importance of nature, the power of activism and community. My description does the show no justice but we left smiling and chatting away about it… it IS a great one for teenagers upwards with an important underlying message.”
