This is an opportunity for those interested in theatre, discovering new scripts, trying out a bit of light acting, or hearing stories brought to life. All are welcome! There will be some scripts printed, but bring along a laptop if possible so that you can access the play online.

The play: Pity by Rory Mullarkey 

A normal day. A person stands in the market square watching the world go by.
What happens next verges on the ridiculous.

There's ice cream. Sunshine. Shops. Some dogs. A wedding. Bombs. Candles. Blood. Lightning. Sandwiches. Snipers. Looting. Gunshots. Babies. Actors. Azaleas. Famine. Fountains. Statues. Atrocities. And tanks. (Probably).

Rory Mullarkey's one-act play asks whether things really are getting worse. And if we care.
