Zyber Theatre presents CrissCross, a new play by John Fraher at the Ivy Leaf Art Centre here in Castleisland on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 5th, 6th and 7th at 8pm nightly.
“The play is set in a public house somewhere in the author’s head.! God help us all! The time is The Past, or Present, or Both. Who knows. It’s a Time Warp. Two stories unfold within its walls. The same bar is populated by two sets of owners/customers in different times/worlds in an Irish Twilight Zone,” according to a group spokesperson.
“One tale is of lopsided love which ends in tragedy and the other is of love lost by silence. Somehow the stories get intertwined. Strong adult themes permeate throughout the play.
There are a couple of occasions where there is crisscrossing of characters or link-ups within the bar. Glitches – shall we say. When this happens the characters in question do not see or acknowledge each other. They don’t know that the others exist. However they may experience a presence or a smell, etc.,” the addled spokesperson concluded.
The cast includes: Rory O Mahony, Raphael Crowley, Mags Slattery, John Connolly, Mary Mills, Aoife Ni Chonchubhair, John Fraher, Eoin Nolan, Noel King, John Patton, Tim Landers and George Lowe.
