Company: Dog and String Theatre and Vanessa Earl
★★★★ Irish Theatre Magazine
Two magically sensitive, visually delicious portraits of life over eighty, told with rhythm, shadows, movement, text and puppetry.
Dorothy, living alone in a Victorian house in Birmingham, has one eye, no teeth and a soft spot for Starsky and Hutch. Her story is told through the eyes of her eight-year-old granddaughter.
Michael, gnarled and bed-ridden, dreams of dancing and wild horses. His story focuses on the last year of his life, exploring his changing states of mind as he slips between dream, reality and memory.
How will you spend your last day? A soul-touching, life-changing hour. Come and be reminded of a special truth.
A previous showing of this piece was described to me by a friend as one of the most beautiful performances she’d seen in recent years. Vanessa Earl and Sarah Fuller make their Dublin debut with this piece. Don’t miss it. -FESTIVAL DIRECTOR
