We Were Promised Honey!

Dublin Theatre Festival: YESYESNONO PRODUCTIONS by Sam Ward presents

3-7 October 2023

A performer stands stage with one hand holding a microphone, and the other hand raised in the air. An audience is seated behind them, in a circular seating arrangement. The space is darkly lit, and the performer is spotlit in the centre of the stage.
A lone performer tells the story of the future of the audience; what’s going to happen to them in the decades, centuries, millennia after the end of this show.

Irish Sign Language interpreted performance: 04 Oct / 7.45 pm

A lone performer tells the story of the future of the audience; what’s going to happen to them in the decades, centuries, millennia after the end of this show. There’s a baby born in a lighthouse, someone on fire in the middle of the desert, two lovers reunited in a flooded city, a spaceship on the edge of a black hole. Everything has already been decided. This is the story of the end.

After touring internationally across 2023, YESYESNONO debut at Dublin Theatre Festival with an act of communal storytelling. A hopeful, hopeless prophecy for earth and humankind. A story of us, our future and how we get there in the end.
