The Next Production

Performance Dates: 10th - 12th July 2008
Performances start at 8pm

Leamington-based Roy Donoghue has been touring this 5 star rated show for the last four years. Written by top Irish playwright, Conor Mc Pherson, this production has won rave reviews from audiences and critics in theatres across the country including the Edinburgh Festival and the Belfast Arts Centre.

Set in Northern Ireland, a hitman (who's no good at it!) bungles a job to scare a local businessman. He goes on the run from all the other thugs, as well as the police, with the businessman's wife and little girl. But...

  • Why is the woman so strange?
  • Will they live or die?
  • Why is he a 'Good Thief' ?

It's like a theatrical road-movie as the specially composed soundtrack underpins the crazy dash along the M2 from Belfast.

Roy Donoghue plays all eight characters in this theatrical masterpiece.

WARNING: This play contains strong language in context with the nature of the character.
