At Swim Two Boys October 20, 2011

Earthfall Dance Company present At Swim Two Boys in the Studio Theatre. Based on Jamie O'Neill's novel and staged entirely in water.

SOLD OUT!

Tickets £9.00 / £7.00 concessions.

To coincide with the 10th anniversary of the same title novel by Jamie O'Neill, Earthfall revive their award-winning production with a UK wide tour.

Staged entirely in water, and set against the backdrop of the Easter Rising in Ireland, this tender and visually beautiful production previously toured to sell-out audiences in Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland and mainland Europe.

Set in Ireland in 1916, the work juxtaposes the developing love affair between two young men with political turmoil in Ireland and the slaughter on the Western Front - contrasting the dream of national liberation and the search for personal freedom. The production is staged in a slowly filling lake in front of a waterfall with episodes from the book woven together through a fusion of extreme physicality, original live music and film.

"Violence, tenderness, passion and humour collide in this super, charged performance" - The Times

Suitable for aged 14 years +
