Olivier Award-winning company Fishamble returns to 59E59 Theaters as part of Origin’s 1st Irish Festival, following its previous, highly-acclaimed productions of On Blueberry Hill, Little Thing/Big Thing, Charolais, I Can See Clearly Now, and The Pride of Parnell Street.
Maz is planning to attend a pro-choice demonstration. Bricks is planning to take his daughter to the zoo. But, as the day unfolds, nothing goes to plan and the two become unlikely friends, changing each other in ways they never thought possible.
“Marvellous theatre… perfect and unmissable piece of deeply moving drama.”

“Particularly timely…excruciatingly funny… powerful”
